Alkaline surfactant polymer flooding shown to improve recovery in very mature oilfield by more than 300%

Green Car Congress

Polymer is added to protect the chemical slug from early dissipation by the driving water phase. However, the process is adversely affected by contact with water or rock that contains high salinity and hardness. The process has been successfully used in recent years in the Minnelusa reservoirs of Wyoming, the Sho-Vel-Tum.
