OSTI ID:6471505

In this paper experimental evidence is given that shows capillary pressures affect mobility data obtained in the oil bank and in the transition zone between the oil bank and the surfactant slug. These capillary pressure effects are characterized and a technique is given to eliminate them. Secondly, differential pressure data from two surfactant systems are presented and interpreted in order to follow the movement of fluid regions through a core. 15 refs.
