SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Smart waterflooding is an emerging and one of the most economic and environmentally safe enhanced oil recovery techniques. Smart waterflooding helps to improve oil recovery by lowering the salinity and/or controlling ion composition of the injected water. It is a promising candidate EOR technique for tight carbonate reservoirs. A brief history of the development of this technique was reviewed. Smart waterflooding effect was first investigated in sandstones, and then it was introduced to carbonates. Both lab experiments and field pilot tests by various researchers were summarized and analyzed.
