6. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
6.2. RECOMMENDATIONS
o The current field project data are only from EOR survey in Oil & Gas Journal, it is necessary collect more field projects from other resources.
o Some major parameters that have a significant impact on the success of polymer flooding projects were not included in the field dataset; therefore, it is necessary to collect theses data, including polymer type and concentration, permeability variation, water salinity and hardness. These parameters should be considered while evaluating polymer flooding candidates.
Based on the analysis of laboratory dataset, polymer flooding shows an improvement of sweep efficiency for heavy oil. Thus, it is important to include the application of polymer flooding in heavy oil fields in the future. That will cause the big change on screening criteria for polymer flooding.
