Chemical flooding, one of the Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques used to increase oil production, consists in the injection in the well of an aqueous formulation containing various chemical additives such as surfactants. However, its performance can be significantly altered by the loss of surfactants in reservoir rocks. (278 characters)
