This review presents our perspective on the factors that have brought polymer flooding to its
current state. Insights are provided on why HPAM is the dominant polymer used as well as …

In recent times, the application of nanoparticles has been studied by researchers for use in
enhanced oil recovery (EOR). This article presents a comprehensive review of recent …

This paper provides an extensive review of the polymer concentrations, viscosities, and
bank sizes used during existing and previous polymer floods. On average, these values …

Increasing flooding-solution viscosity with polymers provides a favorable mobility ratio
compared with brine flooding and hence improves volumetric sweep efficiency. Flooding …

Polymer flooding has proved economically and technically successful in numerous
enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects, which can often increase oil recovery from 12 to 15 …

Polymer solutions are frequently used in enhanced oil recovery and groundwater
remediation to improve the recovery of trapped nonaqueous fluids. However, applications …

Since the late 1960s, several enhanced–oil–recovery (EOR) researchers have developed
various continuum and pore–scale viscoelastic models for quantifying the altered injectivity …

Sustainability refers to achieving our goals without compromising the capacity of coming
generations to accomplish their aims. Sustainability is a multifaceted approach considering …

High-molecular-weight polyacrylamide (PAM) has been widely used in chemically
enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes under mild conditions, but its poor tolerance to high …

Although the alkali/surfactant/polymer (ASP) flooding technique used for enhanced oil
recovery (EOR) was put forward many years ago, it was not until 2014 that it was first put into …
