Polymer Flooding Essentials

X:XX Hours
This course provides an in-depth view of polymer flooding from the selection of the field to field-wide implementation. We will go through the full polymer flooding implementation workflow and review all the fundamental concepts along the way with a greater look at the details: field analysis, candidate ranking, pilot selection, well selection, data gathering, lab. workflow, polymer selection and characterization, core flooding, simulation, pilot design, equipment, implementation, monitoring, economics, carbon footprint, field-wide deployment, and tendering processes. At the end of the course, participants will have an actionable plan ready for quick field roll-out.
