polymer flooding

This paper describes a project in the heavy oil Captain field in the UK sector of the North Sea in which reduced environmental impact dovetails with improved economics.

This paper describes a polymer-injection pilot in the Chichimene heavy oil field in Colombia.

This paper presents a unique investigation into determining the sufficient concentration of hardness ions required to significantly reduce the adsorption of acrylamide-tertiary-butyl-sulfonate-based polymer with a focus on mitigating polymer retention in carbonate formations using softened brine.

In this paper, the authors propose polymer-assisted water-alternating-gas (WAG) injection as an alternative method to reduce gas mobility while reducing the mobility of the aqueous phase and, consequently, improving WAG performance.

This paper presents a systematic review of the largest alkaline-surfactant-polymer flood project in the world, applied to the largest oil field in China.

This study introduces a data-driven virtual viscosity meter as a tool to augment inline and laboratory viscosity measurements.

This paper presents the interpretation of two polymer-injectivity tests performed in two giant light-oil high-salinity/high-temperature carbonate reservoirs onshore Abu Dhabi.

The paper describes the development of an alkaline/surfactant/polymer formulation for the Mangala field in India, which involved more than 30 corefloods.

The authors of this paper develop a robust history-matched reservoir simulation model capable of predicting polymerflooding performance in the first such pilot to enhance heavy oil recovery on Alaska’s North Slope.

This work explores the synergistic effects of smartwater in polymerflooding, surfactant/polymerflooding, carbonated waterflooding, and foam-assisted gas-injection.
