3 Introduction: Program Summary (2012) A screening method was developed (discont.) An ASP formulation for DC field based on phase behavior studies, corefloods and simulation. Evaluation of semi-commercial surfactants (SASOL) was conducted A design for more saline and deeper Minnelusa reservoirs has initiated with promising results
