Fossil Energy: Increased Oil Recovery from Mature Oil Fields Using Gelled Polymer Treatments. Annual Report June 16, 2000-June 15, 2001

摘要

This program was aimed at reducing barriers to the widespread use of gelled polymer treatments by (1) developing methods to predict gel behavior during placement in matrix rock and fractures, (2) determining the persistence of permeability reduction after gel placement, and (3) developing methods to design production well treatments to control water production.
