ABSTRACTUsing dissipative particle dynamics approach, we model phase separation in a ternary system encompassing cross-linked polyacrylamide (PAM) gel, oil and water. PAM gels are widely used in many applications, from food and cosmetic applications to enhanced oil recovery approaches. We show that the PAM nanogel adsorbs at the oil-water interface and spreads out over this interface for the case of a loosely cross-linked polymer network. Tailoring PAM behavior at the oil-water interfaces by controlling gel’s properties could allow one to alter the properties of oil-water emulsions.

The features of evaluation of the effectiveness of flow deflection technologies of enhanced oil recovery methods. It is shown that the effect of zeroing component intensification of fluid withdrawal leads to an overestimation of the effect of flow deflection technology (PRP). Used in oil companies practice PRP efficiency calculation, which consists in calculating the effect on each production well responsive to subsequent summation effects, leads to the selective taking into account only the positive components of PRP effect. Negative constituents — not taken into account and it brings overestimate over to overstating of efficiency. On actual examples the groundless overstating and understating of efficiency is shown overestimate at calculations on applied in petroleum companies by a calculation.
