Abstract

Summary Pseudoplastic non-Newtonian polymer solutions were examined for their enhanced oil recovery performance. Detailed results are reported for xanthan gum (XAN), Kelzan XCD™, and a viscoelastic polyethylene oxide (PEO), Polyox OF-50™. Increases in the power-law coefficient resulted in improved displacement efficiency. Effects were also observed in the injectivity-index parameter results.
