Evaluation of Methods of Reducing Permeability in Porous Rocks by in-Situ Polymer Treatments. Summary for 1984

摘要

The general purpose of this research program is to investigate the application of gelled polymer systems for flow control in oil recovery processes involving fluid displacements. The work has been divided into five general areas: (1) characterization of gel systems and gels; (2) kinetics of gelation for chromium(III) systems; (3) rheological investigation of chromium(III) gels; (4) in-situ gelation of chromium(III) systems; and (5) permeability reduction by injection of polymer and aluminum citrate. Progress in each of these areas is summarized. (ERA citation 10:009560)
