  • Method of modelling enhanced recovery by polymer injection
    Patent number: 8146659
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an optimized method for modelling flows in a geological hydrocarbon reservoir, comprising injecting an aqueous polymer solution to sweep the hydrocarbons, determining a relationship between a parameter linked with the mobility reduction of the solution in the reservoir and the water saturation, and accounting for this relationship in a flow simulator to achieve modelling.
