Green Natural Polymer for EOR - Enhanced Oil Recovery
Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) - Chemical Injection - Chemical Flooding - Polymer Flooding
Chemical flooding is one of the major techniques for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), especially for reservoirs where thermal techniques are not feasible. The most widely used chemical method is polymer flooding. Polymer increases the viscosity of the injected water and reduces permeability of the porous media, allowing for an increase in the vertical and areal sweep efficiencies, and consequently, higher oil recovery.
Green Products for Oil and Gas Industry - Why are we green?
It is frequenty seen in the oil and gas industry some companies launch sustainable and green products. But such green solutions are not green at all, since in most cases, are chemical based products less harmful than usual. Mostly "green" products come from non-renewable raw materials.
