Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Projects

Polymer Flood

Polymer is a non-toxic chemical powder that is mixed with water to create a solution that has a viscosity similar to olive oil. The polymer solution is incorporated into our existing water separation and reinjection system and pipelined to our injector wells. The utilization of a polymer flood is designed to increase oil production and recovery. The thicker polymer solution improves sweep efficiency of a simple waterflood and reduces bypassed oil in the reservoir by minimizing premature water breakthrough. 

Highlights

  • Increase in oil production
  • Increase in overall oil recovery
  • Decrease in production decline
  • Decrease in water production handling costs
