Abstract:The chemical enhanced
oil recovery (CEOR) technology that is most
used worldwide is polymer flooding due to its proven commercial success
at field scale, maturity, and versatility to combine with other technologies.
So, there has been an increasing interest in expanding its applicability
to more unfavorable mobility ratio conditions and adverse environments
(such as high-temperature, high-salinity carbonate reservoirs, pH-sensitive
polymers, and formations with active clays). Therefore, a requirement
for succe… Show more
