Abstract High molecular weight (106–3× 107 Da) polyacrylamide (PAM) is commonly used
as a flocculant in water and wastewater treatment, as a soil conditioner, and as a viscosity …

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

During a polymer flood, the field operator must be convinced that the large chemical
investment is not compromised during polymer injection. Furthermore, injectivity associated …

Considering the need for low oil price, polymer flooding has been demonstrated to be vitally
important for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in the oil industry. However, polymer-stabilized …

Water soluble polymers have attracted increasing interest in enhanced oil recovery (EOR)
processes, especially polymer flooding. Despite the fact that the flow of polymer in porous …

Polymer flooding is an established enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method; still, many aspects
of polymer flooding are not well understood. This study investigates the influence of …

Polymer flooding has been widely applied through past decades to increase oil recovery
after waterflood. Water-soluble polymers are used to increase the viscosity of injected water …

Polyacrylamide (PAM) is one of the most critical materials in polymer flooding technology.
However, the reservoir environment with high temperature, high pressure and high salinity …

The structural changes in the hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (PAM) under different saline
conditions show significant effects on the rheological properties. At the higher shear rates …

Polymer flooding is a vital tertiary oil recovery technology that maintains stable oilfield
production during high water cut periods. This technique involves improving the viscosity of …
