High-molecular-weight (MW) polymer solutions with significant viscoelasticity have been
reported to positively influence residual oil saturation (Sor) reduction at high pressure …

Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods are generally employed in depleted reservoirs to
increase the recovery factor beyond that of water flooding. Polymer flooding is one of the …

Summary At the Milne Point polymer flood (North Slope of Alaska), polymer retention is
dominated by the clay, illite. Illite, and kaolinite cause no delay in polymer propagation in …

Chemical flooding, such as alkaline-surfactant (AS) or nanoparticles-surfactant (NS)
flooding, is an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technique that has been increasingly utilized to …

The current challenge in oil fields is high water cuts and low oil production due to high
permeability layers causing water breakthrough. Polymer gels are commonly used to treat …

Abstract At the Milne Point polymer flood (North Slope of Alaska), polymer retention is
dominated by the clay, illite. Illite (and kaolinite) cause no delay in polymer propagation in …
