Polymer flooding for enhanced oil recovery

Marcelo Eduardo Novaes Freire Filho, Rosângela Barros Zanoni Lopes Moreno

Abstract

In this work, Enhanced Oil Recovery methods were studied, with a focus on polymer flooding. Several works were surveyed to verify which parameters most affect the rheological behaviour of polymer solutions. Characteristics of reservoir rocks, important definitions of the oil industry and mathematical models of the rheology of viscous fluids were investigated as well.
