Enhanced recovery
Coreflood experiments reveal that alkali significantly reduces viscosity loss in polyacrylamide flooding systems by minimizing adsorption and improving polymer stability under shear stress. The findings position viscosity retention as a key screening criterion for successful alkali-polymer enhanced-oil-recovery applications.
This study investigates the potential for in-situ hydrogen generation from hydrocarbons using in-situ combustion, with particular emphasis on the role of kerogen content and heating mode.
This paper presents the application of degradable particulate-diverter technology to improve oil production by effectively diverting stimulation treatment fluids away from high-water-cut, high-permeability, high-temperature producing intervals or zones.
