Several publications by authors in the field of petrochemical engineering have examined the
use of chemically enhanced oil recovery (CEOR) technology, with a specific interest in …

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 …

This paper seeks answers, through a 'philosophical'approach, to the questions of whether
enhanced oil recovery projects are purely driven by economic restrictions (ie oil prices) or if …

Polymer flooding is a promising and effective chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery (cEOR)
technology. Polymer flooding is especially cost-effective, whereas other chemical flooding …

Polymer flooding has been the most widely used chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR)
method. The experience gained over the past decades from laboratory studies to project …

Polymer flooding is a mature Enhanced Oil Recovery process which is used worldwide in
many large-scale field expansions. Encouraged by these positive results, operators are still …

Recently, there are increasing interest on polymer flooding due to its high enhanced oil
recovery (10%-20% OOIP in field tests in Daqing) and much lower cost compared to …

Four main areas of uncertainty can be described in polymer injection projects: Are we able
to deliver the polymer solutions at the required quality to the wellhead? Are we able to inject …

This is the final installment in a series of three papers examining iron mineralogy and its
effect on surfactant adsorption in reservoir and outcrop rock samples. The goal of these …
