ASP Flooding
ASP Flooding :
(n.) Enhanced Oil Recovery. A chemical enhanced oil recovery flood that uses two sources of surfactant and a polymer. Alkaline chemicals such as?sodium carbonate react with acidic oil components in situ to create petroleum soap, which is one of the surfactants. A synthetic surfactant is injected simultaneously with the alkali. A water-soluble polymer is also injected, both in mixture with the alkali and surfactant and as a slug following the mixture, to increase the viscosity of the injectant, thereby improving mobility control of the flood fronts. Syn: Alkaline-Surfactant-Polymer Flooding. See: Alkaline Flooding, Chemical Flooding, Polymer Flooding, Surfactant, Surfactant Flooding
