Oil recovery by polymer flooding is influenced by reservoir heterogeneity not only through its effects on crossflow, but also through the dependence on polymer adsorption, polymer viscosity, and permeability reduction on ...

This work presents a computer model which, when used in conjunction with a single well buildup test in a multiple well unsteady state oil reservoir, can give the true average reservoir pressure without prior knowledge ...

The effects of viscous crossflow may play an important role in the overall displacement of oil by water. This work seeks not only to determine when viscous crossflow is important but also to calculate its effects on vertical ...
