Low salinity polymer flooding: Lower polymer retention and improved injectivity
TLDR
In this paper, a single phase coreflood experiments were performed, where low and high salinity polymer (HSP) solutions, i.e., conventional polymer flood using formation brine, were injected in reservoir core plugs, and performance of the two polymer solutions were analyzed for polymer retention, injectivity and polymer acceleration.About:
