In the realm of enhanced oil recovery (EOR), oilfield polyacrylamide has become a game-changing additive, particularly in the process known as polymer flooding. This technique is widely used in tertiary recovery to increase the efficiency of oil displacement after primary and secondary methods have been exhausted.

How Oilfield Polyacrylamide Works in Polymer Flooding

Polymer flooding involves injecting a water-soluble polymer into an oil reservoir to increase the viscosity of the injected water. This reduces the water-to-oil mobility ratio and leads to a more uniform displacement of oil. Oilfield polyacrylamide is the most commonly used polymer in this process due to its excellent thickening and water retention properties.

The following table outlines the typical role of polyacrylamide in polymer flooding:

Function Effect in Polymer Flooding
Increases water viscosity Improves sweep efficiency in the reservoir
Reduces water mobility Minimizes fingering and channeling
Enhances oil displacement Pushes trapped oil towards production wells
Improves oil recovery rate Maximizes reservoir utilization after water flooding

Benefits in the Field

  • Higher Recovery Efficiency: By controlling fluid mobility, oilfield polyacrylamide enables better contact between the injected fluid and remaining oil.
  • Reduced Water Cut: It helps reduce the proportion of water in production, saving on separation and disposal costs.
  • Better Reservoir Control: The increased viscosity provides better pressure distribution across the formation.

Polymer flooding with polyacrylamide is particularly valuable in mature oilfields where water flooding alone is no longer economically viable.
