New Video: Understanding Injectivity Challenges in Polymer Flooding

🎥 Just Recorded: Introduction to Injectivity in Polymer Flooding. I’ve put together a one-hour dive into one of the most critical aspects of polymer flooding—injectivity.

💡 Why is injectivity such a challenge, and what makes it so important?
🔍 What key factors should you be analyzing to avoid costly mistakes?
📉 Why do 3D reservoir simulations often fail to predict critical business parameters?
🧐 And finally—who’s really afraid of fractures?

This video serves as a primer for the topics I cover in my Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) training courses. It also sets the stage for an upcoming in-depth discussion with Randy Seright, where we’ll take an even closer look at these complex injectivity issues.

Why This Matters for Polymer Flooding Success

Polymer flooding has the potential to significantly improve oil recovery, yet injectivity remains one of the biggest hurdles in real-world applications. Believing simulation too much can stop you from trying. In this session, I highlight:

✅ What drives injectivity limitations in polymer floods
✅ How fractures impact polymer injection performance
✅ Why simulation alone isn’t enough—benchmarking against field evidence is key
✅ Best practices for accurate injectivity evaluation

If you work in reservoir engineering, polymer EOR, or production optimization, this video “Introduction to Injectivity in Polymer Flooding” will give you a clearer understanding of injectivity challenges and how to address them effectively.

Stay Away from “Black Magic” – Base Your Models on Field Data

To quote Randy Seright, “Stay away from black magic and benchmark your simulation against field evidence.” Wise words that every engineer dealing with polymer flooding injectivity should take to heart.
