ABSTRACT
Background and Objective: For Enhanced oil recovery is a technique that has been used to recover the remaining oil in reservoirs after primary and secondary recovery methods. In this experimental study two different types of chemical injections Polymeric microspheres and Guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride were accounted for the injection schemes and their results were compared to select the optimum injection additive and scheme to increase enhanced oil recovery. Materials and Methods: Interfacial Tension (IFT) tests were conducted for Polymeric microspheres and viscosity tests were conducted for Guar gum. Results: Polymeric microspheres reduced sufficiently IFT and mobilized the residual oil from pore throats whereas; Guar gum has high viscosity but did not enhance oil recovery as remarkably as Polymeric microspheres. Conclusion: The experimental observations emphasized that using appropriate chemical additives can improve the chemical flooding for crude oil recovery
