This article argues that although many of the mechanisms operative in chemical flooding are not well understood, a final judgment of curently available simulators cannot be made until adequate laboratory data are available to exploit the mechansims that are known. Refers to the Bell Creek micellar/polymer pilot simulation and chemical flood simulation of the El Dorado pilot as compared to the field results.
