Impact of relative timing of low salinity and polymer flooding on mechanisms by which oil recovery is improved

Abstract A combination of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods, specifically polymer flooding and low salinity (LS) brine injection, has been shown to improve oil recovery beyond what is achievable with either method used alone. However, the optimal sequence and timing of these methods remain unclear...
