Simulation of polymer flooding in one of the Iranian oil fields
Polymer flooding is the most important enhanced oil recovery (EOR) process, improving the water–oil mobility ratio. Polymers act basically increasing the viscosity of the injected water and reducing the swept zone permeability, allowing an increase in the vertical and areal sweep efficiency of the w...
