The simulation and design of polymer flooding
Most polymers used in Enhanced Oil Recovery exhibit shear-thinning behaviour. An in-house streamline simulator was modified and used to study the effects of both shear-thinning and shear-thickening on oil recovery. First, we describe how to simulate Newtonian and non-Newtonian polymer flooding. In c...
