The applicability of the simplified "rigid stream tube" method
to many practical situations of calculating micelle-polymer
flooding in a system of wells is shown. The scheme of motion
of the oil fringe in the pool and the influence of the main
parameters on the efficiency of the considered method for
increasing oil recovery are analyzed.
