Laboratories – Polymer Flooding. Successful polymer flooding projects rely on extensive laboratory testing and analysis to ensure the right polymer formulation, injection strategy, and reservoir compatibility. This page provides a non-exhaustive list of laboratories and third-party service providers specializing in Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) project design. Note that most polymer suppliers can also conduct similar studies.

These laboratories offer a range of essential services, including:

  • Polymer screening and formulation to match reservoir conditions
  • Rheology and stability testing to assess polymer behavior under temperature and salinity constraints
  • Core flooding experiments to evaluate oil recovery efficiency
  • Shear degradation and retention studies to optimize injection strategies
  • Water compatibility and scaling assessments for long-term performance

Choosing a trusted laboratory partner ensures that your polymer flooding project is based on accurate data, reliable testing, and field-proven methodologies.

Headquarters: Centennial, Colorado, USA

Surtek is a third-generation boutique enhanced oil-recovery (EOR) engineering and lab service provider. Located in Centennial, Colorado (USA). Surtek has deep roots in EOR that link directly to the Marathon EOR group that pioneered the micellar solution techniques known today as Chemical EOR.

In 2022 Surtek is committed to preserving the almost lost technical skill set of Reservoir Engineering that is necessary for practical field implementation for EOR, CCUS, and ESG.

Since 1978 Surtek has helped national oil companies, major oil companies, and independents on a wide range of field applications that include conventional, unconventional, off-shore and on-shore.
