Currently enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technology is getting more attention by many countries since energy crises are getting worse and frightening. Polymer flooding by hydrophobically associated polyacrylamides (HAPAM) and its modified silica nanocomposite are a widely implemented technique through enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technology. This polymers class can be synthesized by copolymerization of acrylamide (AM), reactive surfmer, functionalized silica nanoparticles, and a hydrophobic cross-linker moiety in the presence of water soluble initiator via heterogeneous emulsion polymerization technique, to form latexes that can be applied during polymer flooding. Chemical structure of the prepared copolymers was proven through different techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and nuclear magnetic spectroscopy (1H&13C-NMR), and molecular weight was measured by gel permeation chromatography. Study of the effects of monomer, surfmer, cross-linker, silica, and initiator concentrations as well as reaction temperature was investigated to determine optimum polymerization conditions through single factor and orthogonal experiments. Evaluation of the prepared copolymers for enhancing recovered oil amount was evaluated by carrying out flooding experiments on one-dimensional sandstone model to determine recovery factor.

Hydrolyzed Polyacrylamide

Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) is a promising technology for increasing crude oil production, especially from old wells. Polymer flooding is one of the techniques used in EOR in which the water-soluble polymer is added to increase the viscosity of the injected fluid. However, this technique has not been implemented in Indonesia due to the unavailability of locally-synthesized polymers. Therefore, this research aims to synthesize polyacrylamides and their partially-hydrolyzed derivatives and to study the possibility of their utilization for the EOR application. Various polymerization conditions using potassium persulfate (KPS) as initiators have been realized and the resulting polymers were characterized using FTIR spectroscopy and rheology measurement. It was found that higher monomer concentration resulted in higher viscosity-average molecular weight of polyacrylamide. Further study revealed that the hydrolysis of polyacrylamide by alkaline solution significantly increased the viscosity of 1000 ppm solution from 1.5 to 145.40 cP at room temperature, which is comparable to one of the commercial products. These results showed that the simple synthesis and hydrolysis method could be effectively used to produce water-soluble polymers for the EOR application.
