Experimental evaluation of low concentration scleroglucan biopolymer solution for enhanced oil recovery in carbonate

Injection of polymers is beneficial for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) because it improves the mobility ratio between the displaced oil and the displacing injected water. Because of that benefit, polymer flooding improves sweep and displacing efficiencies when compared to waterflooding. Due to these ad...
