Experimental study of profile modification due to polymer adsorption in reservoir rocks Conference Paper

abstract

• The polymers extensively studied and field tested are polyacrylamides and polysaccharides. However, economical and environmental concerns make their use unattractive. On the other hand, starch-based biopolymers are not only cost effective and environmentally safe, but also are very effective for profile modification and mobility control applications. This study is the continuation of the research being undertaken at Texas A&M University in which starch-based biopolymers were found to be excellent EOR agents.
