Correlation between pore structure of sandstones and tertiary oil recovery

;
An excellent correlation has been attained between pore structure and additional recoveries obtained in tertiary surfactant floods for 15 different sandstones. A reasonably good correlation exists between the reciprocal of mean neck diameter (as obtained from mercury porosimetry) and the additional recoveries obtained in tertiary surfactan floods.
