A short review of biopolymers for enhanced of oil recovery in mature fields

The enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques are employed to recover more oil from mature reservoirs following the primary and secondary stages of oil production. Polymer flooding is a chemical EOR method that involves the addition of polymer molecules to a treated area to improve its water viscosity...

Polymer flooding is a chemical EOR method that involves the addition of polymer molecules to a treated area to improve its water viscosity and sweep efficiency, and to accelerate oil production. The increased water viscosity will reduce the mobility ratio of the injected fluid to the reservoir fluid. Polymer flooding is most effective when applied in the early stages of a water flood while the mobile oil saturation is still high.
