Abstract
The application of miscible displacement technology is associated with significant risks and uncertainties. Therefore, it is important to plan a lab programme carefully with the aim of mitigation or eradication of those risks at the design stage. This stage conventionally includes lab analysis, pilot projects, simulations, an analysis of and interactions with potential technology suppliers, etc. This article presents an overview of an adequately detailed laboratory research programme required to apply miscible displacement, and also highlights the important aspects of each experiment that deserve consideration.
