La mise en œuvre [du projet Maraflood] est assez complexe, puisqu'elle implique l'injection d'un bouchon visqueux, lui-même suivi de l'eau d'injection. La présence de ce bouchon visqueux, un bouchon de polymère en général, est nécessaire pour éviter la dégradation [...] de la micro-émulsion [...] 1, record 1, French, - bouchon%20visqueux

Pour atténuer la mobilité du fluide déplaçant et donc accroître l'efficacité de balayage macroscopique, l'idée la plus simple consiste à augmenter la viscosité de l'eau. [...] On injecte d'abord dans le gisement la solution de polymères; [...] derrière ce «bouchon» qui va pousser devant lui l'huile à déplacer pour la mener aux puits de production, on injecte ensuite de l'eau ordinaire. 2, record 1, French, - bouchon%20visqueux
