Abstract
This article presents the preliminary experiments, which were studied to evaluate the viscosity of alkaline/surfactant/polymer solution before doing phase behavior experiments. The results of the experiments provide the effective trend of parameters on viscosity. Moreover, the design of the experiment model was conducted by using Minitab software in order to determine the optimum concentration of each chemical in alkaline/surfactant/polymer solution, which has viscosity higher than oil viscosity. Importantly, the results of the model showed the interaction among effective factors and, finally, recommended more accurate concentration of each component. Consequently, these solutions can push oil bank in the front leading to increase oil recovery.
