Experimental Study on the Effect of Different Injection Rates of Biopolymer Extracted from Natural Waste Material (Coconut Residue) as Drag Reducing Agent (DRA) in Water Injection Well: Formation Permeability Reduction

Applying drag reducing agent (DRA) into water injection system has improved injection capacity of wells by reducing the friction that occurs inside the well tubing. However, the synthetic polymer that is widely used in the industry have raised the environmental concern as its chemical content are be...
