Structurally Tailored Macromolecules for Mobility Control in Enhanced Oil Recovery

  • Chapter
Water-Soluble Polymers for Petroleum Recovery

Abstract

Copolymer structure has a marked effect on solution properties and thus behavioral characteristics of water-soluble copolymers utilized in enhanced oil recovery. Perhaps the most critical property of a candidate polymer for mobility control is its ability to maintain a large hydrodynamic volume (HDV) in the presence of mono- and divalent electrolytes. Additionally the structure and HDV of the polymer must be tailored to allow permeation through the reservoir rock without entrapment, adsorption, or shear degradation.
