Organic alkalis as potential additives in hot water flooding for enhancing heavy oil recovery

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 103, Issue 8, Page 3955-3970, August 2025.
Abstract Alkali–surfactant–polymer (ASP) flooding is a chemical enhanced oil recovery method; its working mechanisms include mobility control, wettability alteration, and in‐situ emulsification. However, conventional alkalis used in the ASP flooding could cause some serious issues, including scaling, formation damage, and pipe corrosion. In this study,
