Experimental Investigation of a Mechanically Stable and Temperature/Salinity Tolerant Biopolymer toward Enhanced Oil Recovery Application in Harsh Condition Reservoirs

In search of robust polymers for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) application in reservoirs with harsh conditions, a water-soluble biopolymer was thoroughly investigated in this work to evaluate its applicability in such reservoirs. The experimental data revealed that compared to the commonly used EOR po...
