Impact of viscoelastic polymer flooding on residual oil saturation in sandstones

The objective of this research was to determine whether the use of polymer compounds with elastic properties can reduce residual oil saturation in porous media below that of brine or inelastic polymerized solutions. One hypothesis is that long-chain polymer molecules experience stress and a resultin...
