Review on polymer flooding: Rheology, adsorption, stability, and field applications of various polymer systems
Polymer Reviews, 2015Co-Authors: Muhammad Shahzad Kamal, Usamah A. Al-mubaiyedh, Abdullah S. Sultan, Ibnelwaleed A. HusseinAbstract:Polymer flooding is one of the most promising techniques for the recovery of remaining oil from light oil Reservoirs. Water soluble polymers are used to enhance the viscosity of displacing fluid and to improve the sweep efficiency. In this paper, Water soluble polymers used for chemical enhanced oil recovery are reviewed. Conventional and novel modified polymers are discussed along with their limitations. The review covers thermal stability, rheology, and adsorption behavior of various polymer systems in sandstone and carbonate Reservoirs. Field and laboratory core flooding data of several polymers are covered. The review describes the polymer systems that are successfully applied in low-temperature and low-salinity Reservoirs. Comprehensive review of current research activities aiming at extending polymer flooding to high-temperature and high-salinity Reservoirs is performed. The review has identified current and future challenges of polymer flooding.

assessing Water quality of five typical Reservoirs in lower reaches of yellow river china using a Water quality index method
Ecological Indicators, 2016Co-Authors: Wei Hou, Shaohua Sun, Mingquan Wang, Nuo Zhang, Xiaodong Xin, Li Sun, Ruibao JiaAbstract:Abstract To assess Water quality of Reservoirs in lower reaches of Yellow River using the Water quality index (WQI) method and try to compare Water quality and main contaminations of mountain and Yellow River Reservoirs, Water samples were carried out over 6 years. Nine Water variables were selected to participate WQI calculation by Principal Component Analysis (PCA). WQI values ranged from 17.8 to 77.8 in five Reservoirs, which indicated “good” to “very poor” Water quality of Reservoirs. No significant differences in WQIs were found between mountain and Yellow River Reservoirs. A major finding from our study is that mercury was the main contamination in 5 Reservoirs, while TP (total phosphorus) and SO4 were another main contaminations in mountain and Yellow River Reservoirs, respectively. Application of the WQI is suggested to be a helpful tool that enables the public and decision makers to evaluate Water quality of drinking Reservoirs in lower reaches of Yellow River.
