Abstract

Background: Increasing the efficiency of a polymer flooding project, both technologically and economically, is always relevant. Aim: This paper aims to consider switching to less saline water as a fairly simple and effective way to increase the effectiveness of a polymer flooding project. Materials and methods: The work used data from a real polymer flooding project. Results: As a result, we have been able to significantly reduce polymer consumption and improve pumping efficiency. Conclusion: This work shows that, with the possibility of using less saline water, as a simple and effective way to reduce costs and increase efficiency, rolling polymer flooding.
