Rheological property for biopolymer schizophyllan derived from local sources in Malaysia

Polymer flooding has shown to be effective in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR). In recent years biopolymers have attracted the attention of the petroleum Industry. Recently, it was identified that using biopolymer schizophyllan for polymer flooding operations has advantages primary benefit being environm...
