THE EFFECT OF WATER SALINITY AND RESERVOIR TEMPERATURE ON SILICA DISSOLUTION DURING ASP FLOOD

Silica scale is one ofthe critical limiting factors that affects production wells during Alkaline-Surfactant-Polymer (ASP) flooding in sandstone reservoirs. The Injection of ASP slug in sandstone reservoir results in silica dissolution, which causes significant changes in porosity and permeabilit...
