Utilisation de micro-émulsions. [...] Ce procédé [...] consiste a utiliser des émulsions eau-huile dont la phase continue est extrêmement divisée [...] L'intérêt [...] de ces fluides tient dans la possibilité de passage continu depuis la micro-émulsion dans laquelle l'huile est phase continue, au cas inverse de la micro-émulsion à phase continue d'eau. 3, record 2, French, - bouchon%20de%20micro%C3%A9mulsion

As mixing progresses, the maximum surfactant concentration in the microemulsion slug decreases and eventually exits the miscible region; i. e., slug breakdown occurs and the locally miscible flood becomes an immiscible displacement. 1, record 3, English, - slug%20breakdown

La taille du banc de solvant pur ne cesse de décroître au fur et à mesure du balayage. Il y a lieu d'éviter que la largeur de ce banc ne s'annule avant la percée du mélange H-S au puits de production, car cela signifierait que C et H sont entrés en contact; or C et H ne sont pas miscibles. Quand un tel incident se produit, on dit qu'il y a «rupture de miscibilité». 1, record 3, French, - rupture%20de%20miscibilit%C3%A9

Healy and Reed(1974) conducted a series of constant-rate... core floods to determine if the nature of the external phase affects displacement efficiency. In each flood a 5% PV microemulsion slug was injected... there appears to be no obvious advantage attributable to either oil-external or water-external surfactant slugs. 1, record 4, English, - water%2Dexternal%20surfactant%20slug
