Effect of small-scale heterogeneity on biopolymer performance in carbonates

Abstract Polymer flooding is a well-established chemical method for enhancing oil recovery in sandstones; however, it has a limited application in carbonates. This is due to the harsh reservoir conditions in carbonates including high temperature, high salinity, and high heterogeneity with low permea...
