ABSTRACT:
Where a micellar displacement fluid interacts with the rock of a particular reservoir to produce a negative surface potential, the least adsorption of surfactant occurs and slug instability due to surfactant loss is minimized. Thus, micellar displacement fluid integrity can be increased by selecting slug components which produce a more negative surface potential at the fluid-rock interface compared to the surface potential of the rock formation fluids prior to injection of the micellar system.
