About
Pascal Mougin is a leading researcher in enhanced oil recovery (EOR), with a particular focus on chemical flooding methods such as alkaline-surfactant-polymer (ASP) and surfactant-polymer (SP) formulations. His work addresses the complex interplay between reservoir conditions—temperature, pressure, and the presence of live oil and gas—and the performance of chemical EOR agents. Mougin’s major contribution lies in bridging the gap between laboratory screening and field-scale application, demonstrating how realistic reservoir parameters significantly alter formulation behavior and oil recovery outcomes. His most cited paper, “Alkaline Surfactant-Polymer Formulation Evaluation in Live Oil Conditions” (2014, 12 citations), provides critical insights into the impact of these variables, offering a more reliable framework for designing effective EOR strategies. By emphasizing the need to test formulations under live oil conditions rather than dead oil, Mougin has helped improve the predictive accuracy of coreflood experiments. His work is essential reading for researchers and engineers seeking to optimize chemical EOR in challenging reservoirs, and it continues to influence both academic studies and industrial pilot projects.
