Water injection is a common method to improve the reservoir sweep and maintain its pressure. The e±ciency of oil recovery in the case of heavy oils is limited by the high mobility ratio between the injected water and oil. A method of reducing the problem related to the high viscosity ratio is by polymer solution injection. However, the liquid-rock interaction, the large volume and the associated cost of polymer may make this technique not applicable in the case of giant fields. Different enhanced oil recovery methods are being developed and studied as alternatives to polymer injection. Dispersion injection, in particular oil-water emulsion injection, has been tried with relative success as an enhanced oil recovery method, but the techniques are not fully developed or understood. The use of such methods requires a complete analysis of the different flow regimes of emulsions inside the porous space of a reservoir. Most analyses of flow of emulsion in a porous media use a macroscopic description. This approach is only valid for dilute emulsion which the size of the disperse phase is much smaller of the pore throat. If the drop size of the disperse phase is of the same order of magnitude of the pore size, the drops may agglomerate and partially block the flow through pores. This flow regime may be used to control the mobility of the injected liquid, leading to higher recovery factor. In this work, experiments of oil displacement were performed in a sandstone plug. The results show that injection of an emulsion changed the oil recovery factor, raising it from approximately 40%, obtained with water injection alone, to approximately 75%, whether in primary mode or after water flooding.
