Summary
Alkaline Flooding
is an
Enhanced oil recovery technique
that involves injecting an
Alkaline solution
into an
Oil Reservoir
to
Reduce oil viscosity
and improve
Oil Displacement Efficiency
. This method is particularly effective in reservoirs with
High acid number crude oils
, as the
Alkaline solution
reacts with
Acidic components
to form soaps that aid in
Mobilizing trapped oil
.
