High water production in oil and gas wells reduces significantly the recovery factor. Mechanical as well as chemical methods are applied to shut off water productive zones. Crosslinked polymers showed high efficiency to seal off water zones in high permeability sandstone and fractured carbonate reservoirs. Moreover, emulsified polymeric formulations have been introduced for deep profile modification by changing the wettability of the rock and hence allowing selective plugging of water. This poster provides an overview of the polymeric formulations used for such application.

Chemical flooding is one of the major enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques particularly for reservoirs where thermal methods are not applicable, that chemical flooding may be polymer flooding, alkaline flooding, surfactant flooding, or a combination of them. The application of designing a chemical flooding program is strongly affected by the current economics, reservoir oil type, and crude oil price. In this project, mechanisms of different chemical methods will be discussed, and design chemical flooding program by using a laboratory scale and programming method. This project is mainly about making a design of surfactant flooding program, through choosing the optimum surfactant concentration. Also, economic study is very important in designing the program to know if the project is profitable or not to identify its efficiency, and choosing the better type of surfactant flooding in the reservoir. The results of this project proved that the surfactant has good effect on rock wettability to more water- wet, so increase the hydrocarbon recovery.

The features of evaluation of the effectiveness of flow deflection technologies of enhanced oil recovery methods. It is shown that the effect of zeroing component intensification of fluid withdrawal leads to an overestimation of the effect of flow deflection technology (PRP). Used in oil companies practice PRP efficiency calculation, which consists in calculating the effect on each production well responsive to subsequent summation effects, leads to the selective taking into account only the positive components of PRP effect. Negative constituents — not taken into account and it brings overestimate over to overstating of efficiency. On actual examples the groundless overstating and understating of efficiency is shown overestimate at calculations on applied in petroleum companies by a calculation.
