• Influence of Residual Oil on Polymer Injectivity 

      Jacobsen, Jørgen Gausdal (Master thesis, 2017-06-22)
      Because a significant fraction of the world’s light oil reservoirs has already been produced, the technical and economic challenges of developing heavy oil fields is now unavoidable [1]. Water flooding has proven to be a ...
    • Mechanistic Modelling of Radial Polymer Flow in Porous Media 

      Jacobsen, Jørgen Gausdal (Doctoral thesis, 2020-09-29)
      Polymer flooding is one of the most successful chemically enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods, and has primarily been implemented to accelerate oil production by sweep improvement. However, research from the last couple ...
    • Polymer flow in porous media: Relevance to Enhanced Oil Recovery 

      Skauge, Arne; Zamani, Nematollah; Jacobsen, Jørgen Gausdal; Shaker Shiran, Behruz; Al-Shakry, Badar; Skauge, Tormod (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-07-10)
      Polymer flooding is one of the most successful chemical EOR (enhanced oil recovery) methods, and is primarily implemented to accelerate oil production by sweep improvement. However, additional benefits have extended the ...
    • Polymer Injectivity Test Design Using Numerical Simulation 

      Alzaabi, Mohamed Adel; Jacobsen, Jørgen Gausdal; Masalmeh, Shehadeh; Al Sumaiti, Ali; Pettersen, Øystein; Skauge, Arne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-03)
      Polymer flooding is an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) process, which has received increasing interest in the industry. In this process, water-soluble polymers are used to increase injected water viscosity in order to improve ...
    • Qualification of New Methods for Measuring In-Situ Rheology of Non-Newtonian Fluids in Porous Media 

      Jacobsen, Jørgen Gausdal; Shaker Shiran, Behruz; Skauge, Tormod; Sorbie, Ken; Skauge, Arne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Pressure drop (ΔP) versus volumetric injection rate (Q) data from linear core floods have typically been used to measure in situ rheology of non-Newtonian fluids in porous media. However, linear flow is characterized by ...
