Abstract

The paper gives a solution to the problem of the displacement of oil by a slug for different forms of the sorption isotherm and the distribution function of the additive between the phases and for different values of the initial flooding of the stratum. The process is considered under conditions of reversible sorption and also under conditions of partial retention of the additive by the skeleton of the porous medium. The behavior of slugs in the case of cyclic pumping of a solution of an active additive is investigated.
