Adsorption of the chemicals (e.g., polymers, surfactants, and alkaline) used in chemical EOR (CEOR) onto formation rock surfaces is of big concern because it represents loss of the chemicals from the solution, and consequently, a net reduction in the chemical slug. Therefore, the efficiency of ch...
