Abstract
With a continuous increase in the worldwide demand for the crude oil and considering the fact that conventional oil and gas resources are depleting, the Enhanced Oil Recovery processes (EOR) play a vital role to boost the production from mature reservoirs. Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery (cEOR) is one of the most implemented methods to produce the remaining oil in-situ. Alkali-Polymer flooding is a cEOR technique in which the alkali should react chemically with the oil to produce in-situ surfactants/soaps. Polymers solutions are expected to provide fluid mobility control and improve the sweep efficiency. Hence, it is crucial that the viscosity of a polymer solution does not decrease throughout its propagation along the reservoir.
The 16 Tortonian Horizon (TH) of the Matzen field has been screened for the application of different EOR and is considered a suitable candidate for Alkali-Polymer flooding due to its reactive oil properties (high acidity)
