  • Oil Production
CONT

The polymer flooding technique involves the addition of a thickening agent (polymer) to the injected water to increase its viscosity [thus yielding] two benefits: 1) [it] reduces the total volume of water required to reach the ultimate residual oil saturation and 2) increases swell efficiency due to improved mobility ratio.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Production pétrolière
OBS

Le passage d'une solution de polymères à travers un milieu poreux entraîne une réduction rémanente de mobilité à l'eau [...] Par contre la mobilité à l'huile reste à peu près inchangée.
