A numerical and experimental approach to oil recovery performances during combined xanthan gum and carbon dioxide flooding
-driven oil swelling and viscosity reduction) and macroscopic sweep efficiency (polymer-driven mobility control). This hybrid approach represents a technically viable and economically promising EOR strategy for mature sandstone reservoirs while contributing to sustainable carbon management.
