Sumario:<p id="p1">This chapter discusses one of the crucial chemical-enhanced oil recovery systems associated with a combination of micellar and polymer flooding during the tertiary recovery process. Generally, polymer flooding relies on increasing displacing fluid viscosity to improve mobility ratio and sweeping efficiency. on the other hand, micellar flooding aims to decrease O/W interfacial tension, so improve displacement efficiency. The combination of both techniques and investigating their synergistic effect during the flooding process is a crucial issue that helps petroleum engineers assign the optimum flooding technique through reservoir management. The current trends and updated technologies in this field as well as previous literature will be discussed highlighting the sides of their advantages and limitations.</p>
