Abstract

Using artificial cores, six different partially crosslinked polyacrylamide (PCPAM) suspensions were used for sandpacked core flow experiments; the results indicated that the migration of the PCPAM particles through porous media was a process of plugging and flooding at the same time. A theoretical model was proposed and the sensitive parameter, G′, was determined by rheological oscillation measurements with a 200 μm plate gap. In addition, the validity of the proposed theoretical model was verified by the results of the core flow experiments and a fitting equation of ΔP 1 with G′ was obtained which can be used for quantifying the steady-state pressure of PCPAM suspensions flowing through porous media in the core flow experiments.
