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 SPE technical section editorial synthesizes six technical themes shaping CO2 transport and storage and interprets them through a petroleum engineering capability lens.
