Low polymer retention in the reservoir is essential to the success of a polymer EOR operation.It is usually estimated from laboratory core flood experiments conducted under conditions as close as possible to those prevailing in the field. This paper addresses the effects of core nettability and oil saturation on polymer adsorption/retention, Adsorption of EOR water-soluble polymers onto oil or, more H. Toulhouat and J.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
