The method comprises injecting into an underground formation through an injection well about 0.05 to about 1.0 pore volumes of an aqueous surfactant slug comprising about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of a surfactant system, injecting a drive fluid into {HEAD ~ the formation} through {TAIL ~ the injection} well to push the surfactant slug towards the production well, and recovering hydrocarbons at the production well
