Effective Viscosity in Porous Media and Applicable Limitations for Polymer Flooding of an Associative Polymer

Hydrophobically associating polyacrylamide (HAPAM) is considered to be a promising candidate for polymer flooding because of its excellent apparent viscosifying capability. Compared with partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM), the resistance factor and residual resistance factor caused by HAPAM...
