A microfluidic approach to efficient oil recovery from porous media is presented. The paper focuses on enhanced oil recovery methods using surfactants. The advantages of the proposed method using microfluidic chips compared to traditional core filtration experiments are demonstrated. A combined experimental and numerical approach is proposed for evaluating the efficiency of various displacing agents. The capabilities and limitations of freely available computational packages for porous network modeling are discussed. Experimental results are compared with numerical simulations. Experimental results are presented demonstrating the influence of wettability on oil displacement efficiency. The effectiveness of surfactant solutions in reducing residual oil saturation is demonstrated. The presented approach is considered a promising option for rapid screening of agents affecting productive formations. Keywords: enhanced oil recovery, surfactants flooding, microemulsion, pore network, microfluidic chip.
