Abstract: The effect of each component of two alkali/surfactant/polymer flooding systems which use a low-price natural mixed carboxylate as the major surfactant on transient and minimum interfacial tension is discussed in this paper. It is found that each component of the ASPflooding systems has an optimum concentration making the minimum interfacial tension on O/W interface lowest: alkali 1.0%, surfactant 0.5%, polymer 0.1%. We also probe into the mechanism of interaction in each component and their adsorption on O/W interface initially.

Key words: ASP-flooding systems, Transient interfacial tension, Natural mixed carboxylate
