Abstract

- The combined alkali and polymer can maximize tertiary oil recovery for AP flooding.
- The W/O droplet flow plays major role in improving heavy oil recovery by AP flooding.
- The polymer has adverse effect on the formation of W/O droplet flow in AP flooding.
- The sequential injection of alkali slug-polymer slug is the best injection strategy.
