Numerical simulation and optimisation of polymer flooding in a heterogenous reservoir : constrained versus unconstrained optimisation
Polymer flooding offers the potential to recover more oil from reservoirs but requires significant investments which necessitate a robust analysis of economic upsides and downsides. Key uncertainties in designing a polymer flood are often reservoir geology and polymer degradation. The objective of …

Rheology and Flow Behaviour of Non-Newtonian, Polymeric Fluids in Capillaric and Porous Media: Aspects Related to Polymer Flooding for Enchanced Recovery of Heavy Oil
Heavy oil reservoirs under consideration for polymer flooding typically contain greater than 85% of the original oil in place (OOIP) after primary recovery and waterflooding. Many of these fields are operated at high producing water/oil ratios (WORs) only marginally above their economic limit due …

Rate Optimization for Polymer and CO2 Flooding Under Geologic Uncertainty
… the various improved recovery methods, waterflooding is by far the most widely used. However, the presence of reservoir heterogeneity such as high permeability streaks often leads to premature breakthrough and poor sweep resulting in reduced oil recovery. This underscores the need for a …
