  Polymers and Polymer-Based Gelants for Improved Oil Recovery and Water Control Applications in Naturally Fractured Chalk Formations

  Arne Stavland

  Polymers and polymer-based gels are used in the oil industry to improve the oil displacement efficiency and address unwanted fluids (water and/or gas) production

  respectively. In this work

  existing commercial polymer and polymer-based chemicals are screened and evaluated in the laboratory for water management and enhanced oil recovery applications in naturally fractured carbonate (chalk) reservoirs. Several bulk- and core-based testing techniques are used to achieve this goal with the selected chemicals undergone thorough investigation of their filterability

  injectivity

  gelation time

  gel strength

  gel shrinkage

  and impact on oil production. Injection of high and low molecular weight hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) polymers into fractured-porous cores does not hinder the oil production mechanism in chalk formations yielding a lower oil recovery rate but comparable ultimate recoveries with water injection. The environmental friendly Polymer B gelant is “inconsistent” related to the formation of gel; when it gels

  the quality of the formed gel is poor and provide no resistance to a post-treatment water injection. The non-environmentally friendly Polymer A gelant worked consistently concerning gelation and yielded good quality

  strong gels that can withstand post-treatment applied pressures during water injection.

  environmentally-friendly well solution (either mechanical or chemical). If intelligent well completions exist

  then the most effective utilization of the downhole well instrumentation should be sought. Alternatively

  the evaluation of installation of such smart well completions may also be considered for a given reservoir/well (field) scenario.
