Abstract
Waterflooding employing the use of an initial mobility control slug which is graded at its front end by progressively increasing its viscosity and a terminal mobility control slug which is graded at its back end by progressively decreasing its viscosity.

The invention may be carried out in conjunction with surfactant or alkaline waterflooding.
