This review presents our perspective on the factors that have brought polymer flooding to its
current state. Insights are provided on why HPAM is the dominant polymer used as well as …

In the face of the escalating global energy demand, the challenge lies in enhancing the
extraction of oil from low-pressure underground reservoirs. The conventional artificial gas lift …

Back-produced polymer to surface facilities is a significant topic in the literature due to the
specific properties of the polymer, which are beneficial in the effective displacement of oil in …

Artificial lift systems (ALS) are used in mature oil fields, which have insufficient pressure to
produce hydrocarbons naturally. Nowadays, sucker rod pumping systems hold a significant …

Polymer degradation in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) operations impacts post-processing
costs. While literature on polymer degradation often focuses on porous-media behavior, this …
