Characterization of Oilfield High Molar Mass Polymers Under Different pH and Mono-Di Valent Ion Environment Using Asymmetrical Flow Fluid Flow Fractionation
DownloadSpring 2017
Various types of ultrahigh molar mass polyacrylamides (PAMs) or HPAMs and their co- and ter-polymers used not only in enhanced oil recovery, but also in drilling, fracturing, water treatment and tailing applications require an accurate description of polymer molar mass (Mw) and hydrodynamic size...

Effect of viscoelasticity and alkali on heavy oil EOR performance using HPAM, 'AA-NVP' co- and cross-linked polymers
DownloadSpring 2014
Polymer solutions are characterized based on their viscoelasticity to improve the displacement efficiency for enhanced oil recovery. Contribution of viscoelastic polymers solution’s elasticity on oil recovery needs to be analyzed thoroughly for better screening of polymers for field operations....
