In a test plot of the Robinson sand of Illinois, a surfactant slug was followed by a polymer flood and a waterflood. Polyacrylamide was used as the polymer. Ultimate recovery in the test area should approach 45 percent of the oil in place. A second test using a surfactant slug and Dow Pusher 500 polymer flood on the Bradford Third sand in Pennsylvania, is expected to have an ultimate recovery of 50 percent of the post-waterflood oil saturation. The surfactant, petroleum sulfonate, was made using lease crude oil.
