Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) has emerged in oil and gas industries as a superior substitution to the conventional HPAM and xanthan gum (XG) for high viscosity polymer flooding application. In this study, the combined effect of conventional surfactant, sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) and CMC f...
