The Mechanism for Improved Polymer Gel Blocking During Low-Salinity Waterfloods, Investigated Using Positron Emission Tomography Imaging
Brattekås, Bergit; Seright, Randall S. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Polymer gels can be placed in fractures within subsurface reservoirs to improve sweep efficiency during subsequent floods, and its success is largely determined by the gel’s ability to completely occupy the fracture volume. ... -
A Review of Polymer Gel Utilization in Carbon Dioxide Flow Control at the Core and Field Scale
Brattekås, Bergit; Seright, Randall S. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Polymer gel has been used for water conformance control for several decades and may have significant potential in remediating unfavorable carbon dioxide (CO2) flow in the subsurface. High-mobility CO2 may channel quickly ... -
Water shutoff and conformance improvement: an introduction
Seright, Randall S.; Brattekås, Bergit (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)This paper provides an introduction to the topic of water shutoff and conformance improvement. After indicating the volumes of water produced during oilfield operations, a strategy is provided for attacking excess water ...
