Upscaling polymer flooding to model sub-grid block geological heterogeneity and compensate for numerical dispersion
Secondary polymer flooding can significantly improve oil recovery over that obtained by waterflooding. This is achieved principally by improving the water-oil mobility ratio and thus reducing channelling. There are, however, several polymer-specific mechanisms (such as adsorption, mixing, permeabili...
