Adsorption of anionic surfactant on surface of reservoir minerals in alkaline-surfactant-polymer system

Alkaline-surfactant-polymer (ASP) flooding is significant to the oil and gas industry due to synergistic interaction between alkaline, surfactant and polymer. However, chemical losses due to adsorptions of surfactant and polymer on the rock surface could lead to inefficiency of the process. There ar...
