Pore-scale modeling of viscoelastic flow and the effect of polymer elasticity on residual oil saturation
Polymers used in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) help to control the mobility ratio between oil and aqueous phases and as a result, polymer flooding improves sweep efficiency in reservoirs. However, the conventional wisdom is that polymer flooding does not have considerable effect on pore-level displace...
