Single Well Field Tests<br />
• Low cost: Injected brine and oil are directly<br />
available: Required oil volume is small<br />
• Test should first be applied to reservoirs<br />
with flow conformance (responded well to<br />
waterflooding), oil viscosity close to that <strong>of</strong><br />
the injected brine and low gas/oil ratio<br />
• Single well tracer tests can be used to<br />
determine residual oil saturations before<br />
and after the process<br />
