MRI studies of permeability control using biopolymers Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • Severe changes in rock permeability among adjacent oil bearing horizons persents an enhanced oil recovery problem. Fluids used to displace indigenous oil tend to follow the high permeability avenues, bypassing large reserves of oil. The use of a modified bi polymer, starch, as a method to enhance oil recovery was evaluated.
