Novel adsorption mechanisms identified for polymer retention in carbonate rocks

Novel adsorption mechanisms identified for polymer retention in carbonate rocks

Hypothesis: High molecular weight polymers are widely used in oilfield applications, such as in chemical enhanced oil recovery (cEOR) technique for hydrocarbon recovery. However, during flow in a porous rock, polymer retention is usually a major challenge, as it may result in the decrease of polymer...
