Optimizing Polymer Costs and Efficiency in Alkali–Polymer Oilfield Applications
In this work, we present various evaluations that are key prior field applications. The workflow combines laboratory approaches to optimize the usage of polymers in combination with alkali to improve project economics. We show that the performance of AP floods can be optimized by making use of lower...
