A surfactant polymer field test in a carbonate reservoir has been implemented in Indonesia. The pilot has exceeded its objectives and a large scale commercial deployment is currently under study.
Foam was selected by the operator to improve the performances of a WAG process. A formulation generating a stable foam with good rheological properties and stability in reservoir conditions was designed (Chabert, et al., 2013)...
IFP (a member of the EOR Alliance) proposed the first polymer flood in a heavy oil reservoir in 1995 in the Pelican Lake field. This thin (5 m average) giant reservoir (6.4 billion barrels OOIP)...
