Enhanced recovery
This study combines preshear degradation, permeability, and oil presence effects to evaluate and improve polymer injectivity using acrylamido tertiary butyl sulfonate (ATBS) polymer in carbonate rock.
The authors of this paper describe reservoir-fluid-geodynamics processes that explain the reasons behind varying oil compositions and properties within and across different reservoir compartments.
This work investigates the root cause of strong oil/water emulsion and if sludge formation is occurring within the reservoir using a robust integrated approach.
