Example showing effect of polymer
Chemical evaluation during pilot plant trails – polymer injection
The client had started a polymer and ASP [Alkali-Surfactant-Polymer] pilot test and wanted to ensure that the chosen chemical(s) were successfully applied in the surface facilities, at the production wells, and were suitably treated for produced water re-injection (PWRI). This included separation issues in the process fluids.
Oil Plus analysed the production fluid properties including the viscosities of polymer-rich water, emulsion properties of the oil in presence of polymer in return fluid from the wells.
The laboratory testing concluded that the polymers had comparable performance, therefore the client could base his purchasing decision on price and available from supplier.
