The current economic downturn in the oil and gas industry has created a need to reduce costs andenvironmental impacts in the recovery of hydrocarbons. The tools proposed will advance the positive outcomesfrom the tertiary stage of reservoir production using Alkaline/Surfactant/Polymer (ASP) flooding. ASP is anattractive Enhanced Oil Recovery method and the advantages of ASP flooding are widely reported from thelaboratory to the field. Many important technical issues related to this process still exist and need to beresolved with a comprehensive study program. The goal of this research project is to investigate thefundamentals of ASP flooding from the laboratory to the field scale using coreflooding data and advancednumerical simulation technologies. Oil and gas companies are requesting tools that can help them efficientlyscreen, design, and optimize field-scale the ASP process for light oil reservoirs. The research is also extendedto heavy oil reservoirs by proposing a novel hybrid recovery concept. This project will establish new processesand validate them. The outcomes will be published in open access journals

当前石油和天然气行业的经济衰退已经产生了降低成本和减少碳氢化合物回收的不利影响的需求。所提出的工具将促进使用碱/表面活性剂/聚合物（ASP）驱的油藏开采的第三阶段的积极成果。三元复合驱是一种极具吸引力的三次采油方法，其优点已被从实验室到现场广泛报道。与此过程相关的许多重要技术问题仍然存在，需要通过全面的研究计划来解决。本研究项目的目标是利用岩心驱替数据和先进的数值模拟技术，从实验室到现场规模研究三元复合驱的基本原理。石油和天然气公司需要能够帮助他们有效筛选、设计和优化油田规模的轻质油藏ASP工艺的工具。通过提出一种新的混合开采概念，将研究扩展到稠油油藏。该项目将建立新的流程并对其进行验证。研究结果将发表在开放获取期刊上
