PAM/PEI polymer gel for water control in high-temperature and high-pressure conditions: Core flooding with crossflow effect
Polymer gel has been established as a water shut-off control agent for improved oil recovery. The role of the polymer gel in conformance control is to divert injected water from high permeability to low permeability zones of the reservoir. This paper presents a series of core flooding tests performe...

Polymer gel has been established as a water shut-off control agent for improved oil recovery. The role of the polymer gel in conformance control is to divert injected water from high permeability to low permeability zones of the reservoir. This paper presents a series of core flooding tests performed to investigate the propagation, blocking capability, permeability reduction and diverting performance of various mixtures of polymer gels at simulated reservoir condition. In this particular study, a core flooding scheme with crossflow effect using composite core has permeability contrast. Core flooding test with crossflow effect simulates reservoirs with communication between reservoir permeability layers. Experimental results show that PAM/PEI polymer gel reinforced with solid silica NP has been proven to provide satisfactory gel strength to divert water flow, thus recovering an additional 24% of oil. This reinforced PAM/PEI polymer gel tends to recover more trapped oil compared to weakened PAM/PEI polymer gel without solid particles.
