  • Patent number: 8822389
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a dendritic comb-shaped polymer thickening agent and preparation and application thereof; it is a copolymer obtained by copolymerization of monomer (A) and monomer (B). Monomer (A) is one or more water-soluble unsaturated monomers with olefin chain, and monomer (B) is at least one monomer with the following general structure: wherein R1, R2 is selected from H or C1˜C12 alkyl group, respectively; R3, R4, R5 is selected from H or C1˜C8 alkyl group, C1˜C8 alkylaryl group, C1˜C8 alkyl ether or C1˜C8 alkyl ester group, respectively; A? is selected from COO? or OH. The content of the monomer (A) is 70˜99.99% of the total mass of the monomer (A) and the monomer (B), and the content of monomer (B) is 0.01˜30% of the total mass of the monomer (A) and the monomer (B). The viscosity of the polymer solution with the present polymer is 30% higher than that with common polyacrylamide and it is used in polymer flooding for oil reservoir with permeability lower than 400 mD in oilfields.

  • Patent number: 7867952
    Abstract: Disclosed are a flexible polymer, particles made from same, and a process for preparing the particles. This flexible polymer is obtained from copolymerizing monomer (A) and monomer (B), wherein monomer (A) is one or more water-insoluble unsaturated diene monomers; monomer (B) is at least one compound with the general formula of wherein R is C1-C12alkyl, C1-C12 alkyl aryl, C1-C12 alkyl ether or C1-C12alkyl ester. Monomer (A) is in an amount of 60-90% by weight of the total combined weight of monomer (A) and monomer (B). Monomer (B) is in an amount of 10-40% by weight of the total combined weight of monomer (A) and monomer (B). The flexible polymer particles show excellent flexibility, deformability, elasticity as well as stability. They can be used in oilfields in nearby wellbore profile control and in-depth profile control or as in-depth flooding fluid diverting agents.
