Polymer Flooding in Heterogeneous Heavy Oil Reservoirs: Experimental and Simulation Studies

Polymer Flooding in Heterogeneous Heavy Oil Reservoirs: Experimental and Simulation Studies

Polymer flooding (PF) in heterogeneous heavy oil reservoirs is not only closely related to polymer degradation, but also to non-Newtonian flow. In this paper, both experimental and simulation methods are combined to investigate this type of flooding. Through experiments, the degradation of polymer,...
