With regard to determining the instaneous viscosity ratios under which miscible displacement takes place, it is of importance to consider typical viscosity vs. composition curves, the viscosity envelopes, and the viscosity of effluent curves. Each of the above is illustrated by a graph. The first graph shows the viscosity of mixtures of IPA (ethanol) and brine, and IPA and Soltrol C. The second graph shows the viscosity envelope for the IPA system (23$ C). The third graph shows the viscosity of the effluent in the first run in an IPA-soltrol C-brine system. The addition of calcium chloride to ethanol results in a higher displacement efficiency by virtue of increased viscosity ratios in spite of rather poorer phase relationship.
