This paper presents an investigation of softened water application to improve micellar flooding performance in high salinity conditions. The following parameters have been studied: critical micelle concentration, emulsion stability, viscosity and oil recovery factor. It was obtained 11.8% oil recovery increase in micellar flooding while injection of softened water slug. Keywords: Critical micelle concentration; Micellar flooding; Enhanced oil recovery method.
