Polymer flooding is an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technique that improves frontal stability
problems associated with waterflooding. It has two primary mechanisms, the reduction of …

Streamline and streamtube methods have been used in fluid flow computations for many
years. Early applications for hydrocarbon reservoir simulation were first reported by Fay and …

Chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR) leads to substantial incremental costs over
waterflooding of oil reservoirs. Reservoirs containing oil with a high total acid number (TAN) …

Extraction of heavy viscous oil from oilfields requires thermal enhanced oil recovery
techniques to reduce the oil viscosity and improve its mobility. Usually, in these problems the …

Since August 2018, a polymer flooding field pilot has been underway in an unconsolidated
heavy oil reservoir on the Alaska North Slope (ANS). Previously, a reservoir simulation …

The polymer pilot test performed in the 8 TH sandstone reservoir in Austria shows
incremental oil production. Soon after increasing oil cuts were detected, polymer was back …

Polymer flooding of oil fields has not reached the same maturity as waterflooding. Hence,
implementing polymer projects at field scale requires a workflow comprising several steps …

A number of reservoirs in the Vienna Basin in Austria might benefit from polymer solution
injection. In November 2011, a Polyacrylamide polymer injection pilot commenced for the …

Polymer flooding is a well-established commercially available chemical technique for
enhancing oil recovery. This technique is mainly used in sandstones with a limited …

A polymer pilot in the 8th Torton Horizon (8 TH) Reservoir in Austria showed promising
results. The utility factors were 1.8 kg of polymer injected per incremental bbl of oil produced …
