| Description/Abstract | It was anticipated that on creating a more stabilized interface at the rear of the isopropyl alcohol slug by increasing the viscosity of the brine, the dissipation of the alcohol would be reduced and hence favor a more effective displacement process.^The increase of 3.5% in the oleic phase recovery may be considered evidence of this conjecture.^However, it should be remembered that the glycerine-brine mixture shows a more favorable phase behavior in the naphtha-isopropyl alcohol system and therefore the relative effects of these 2 parameters become difficult to separate.^On the other hand, the substantial increase of 23% in pure oil recovery implies a slower deterioration of the Bradford crude-naptha interface.^Due to the complexity of the 5-component system, an apparent explanation of this phenomenon can only be given by surmising that since the isopropyl alcohol-glycerine brine interface became more stabilized, naptha interface thereby resulted in a higher pure oil recovery. |
