Revisiting polymer selection workflows for chemical enhanced oil recovery5 Downloads2023. EAGE IOR+ The Hague. The workflow used to select and study polymer candidates for polymer flooding has remained relatively unchanged since the first projects were performed in the 1960s. Starting with viscosity curves and filtration test, the polymer candidates are then injected into cores representative […]

Spreadsheet – shear calculations for vertical perforated wells13 DownloadsThis Excel spreadsheet can be used to understand how shear rates vary in perforated vertical wells. This should help design the perfect completion to minimise mechanical degradation and avoid studying some parameters such as shear-thickening. Download spreadsheet

Polymer Flood Predictive Model (PFPM)0 DownloadsPolymer flooding modelling with commercial simulators hasn’t provided full satisfaction so far. Predictions regarding injectivity, oil recovery, and sweep efficiency are often far away from the actual field results. Some analytical methods exist as proposed by Gary Pope’ student in the 80’s, reused for Captain field injectivity calculations for instance.

Polymer Flooding – Open access book chapter0 DownloadsA. Thomas, “Polymer Flooding”, in Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery (cEOR) – a Practical Overview. London, United Kingdom: IntechOpen, 2016 [Online]. The focus of this chapter is on polymers and their use to enhance oil recovery through the process known as polymer flooding. Emphasis is given to practical information relevant to

Some Key Features to Consider When Studying Polyacrylamides for cEOR0 Downloads2013. A. Thomas, N. Gaillard, C. Favéro. Among Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery (CEOR) methods, polymer flooding is a straightforward technique with a long commercial history and proven results. It consists in injecting polymer-augmented water into a subterranean formation in order to improve, thanks to the viscosity increase, the

A pragmatic approach to accelerate field implementation of polymer flooding2 Downloads2022. In this short paper, we will try to address several questions regarding the deployment of polymer flooding and the remaining challenges, while providing a series of guidelines to accelerate the deployment of this technique in maturing oilfields.
