Abstract

A series of corefloods was conducted with alkaline solution, polymer solution, and a blend solution of alkaline and polymer in linear and radial Berea sandstone cores for studying the mechanisms of the second-version PAAF process. Sodium hydroxide was used as the alkaline agent, and the polymer was 30-percent hydrolyzed polyacrylamide. Results showed that the synergistic effect of the second-version PAAF provides better efficiency than either alkaline or polymer alone for enhancing oil recovery.
