Abstract
Described is a method for evaluating oil recovery. The method includes performing a pre-coreflood process, a coreflood process, and a post-coreflood process. The pre-coreflood process includes preparing heterogenous cores samples with different structural configurations. The coreflood process includes injecting a treatment into the core samples and obtaining nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements of the treated core samples. NMR measurements are compared to assess performance of the treatment. The post-coreflood process includes conducting an X-ray micro-computerized topography (CT) scan and a Saturate, Aromatic, Resin, and Asphaltene (SARA) analysis on the treated core samples.
