Evaluation Techniques

Polymer flooding is a promising enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technique; sweeping a reservoir with a dilute polymer solution can significantly improve the overall oil recovery. In this overview, polymeric materials for enhanced oil recovery are described in general terms, with specific emphasis on desirable characteristics for the application. Application-specific properties should be considered when selecting or developing polymers for enhanced oil recovery and should be carefully evaluated. Characterization techniques should be informed by current best practices; several are described herein. Evaluation of fundamental polymer properties (including polymer composition, microstructure, and molecular weight averages); resistance to shear/thermal/chemical degradation; and salinity/hardness compatibility are discussed. Finally, evaluation techniques to establish the polymer flooding performance of candidate EOR materials are described.

Abstract The composition of sulfur-curable elastomers derived from olefins and diolefins is described and methods are given for their synthesis using coordination catalysts. Certain factors that influence the laboratory-scale polymer synthesis are discussed and the effects of catalyst type, polymerization temperature, and diene structure on the rate of polymer formation and polymer composition are outlined. Polymer properties are discussed in general terms, with particular emphasis on oxidative stability.
