The Polymer Flooding Technology is to increase

the injected water viscosity by adding polymer, i.e.
polyacrylamide (such as polysaccharide, etc.) is used
to improve the oil to water mobility ratio, expand the
sweeping volume of the displacement liquid in the
reservoir and enhance the oil recovery.
At the early sixties of the last century, CNPC
started taking up with the exploration and practice
of the Polymer Flooding Technology. Become a
developer for setting stands in the field as well as
the technological pioneer After over forty years of
development and improvement. For oil polymer
flooding in high water-cut oilfields, CNPC provides
customers with the cost-effective solutions for

2.5 Polymer Flooding Agent Production Technologies

This technology provides the chemical agents for the use of polymer
flooding to meet different needs. Select polymer flooding agents of different
properties and specifications according to the requirements of polymer
flooding technology, achieving matched injection and ensuring that the
polymer flooding reaches the best results.
As the biggest flooding-used polyacrylamide supplier, CNPC possessed
the chemical production bases in oilfields; it has devoted to research and
development activities and production for polymer flooding agents. Since
1996, the equipment for the production of polymer flooding agents was put into service, the production
technology has been developing continuously, the production scale has expanded increasingly and the products
have upgraded times and again. At present, 26 formats of polymer flooding agents have been produced.
The super high molecular weight salt-resistant polyacrylamide products can be used to prepare polymer with
sewage that both ensures the crude oil recovery and saves the fresh water resources, consequently saves the
cost of sewage disposal. Thus it plays an important role for reducing the oil production cost in oilfields. At the
same time, it also addresses the problem of sewage discharge and environmental protection for the oilfield.

 3 TYPICAl CASES

3.1 Polymer Flooding EOR in Multilayered Sandstone Oilfield

The heterogeneous multilayered sandstone reservoir developed by water flooding features the average
reservoir temperature of 45 ℃, the formation water salinity of 4,000-7,000mg/l, the average crude oil viscosity
of 9mPa·s and the serious reservoir heterogeneity.
In 1972, a polymer flooding field test was conducted at a small well spacing (well spacing of 75m) and
obtained a clear effect of increasing oil and decreasing water under the condition of small dosage of polymer
with low molecular weight, the water-cut of oil well dropped from 99% to the lowest of 60.4% and oil recovery
increased by 5.1 percentage. In 1991, several polymer flooding industrial field tests were conducted in three
block by the ways of wide spacing and multi-well group, resulting in a good results of oil recovery increased by
more than 12%. The industrialized application of polymer flooding was started in 1995, as of the end of 2008,
it has been applied in 46 blocks with an deployment area of 378.9×107sq ft, geological reserves of 1.45×1012lb
and the total number of wells is 7187. In the industrialized promotion blocks, the polymer flooding oil recovery
increased by 10 percent as compared with water flooding, the annual oil output by polymer flooding has been
exceeded 198×108lb in 7 consecutive years and the cumulative oil production exceeded 2.2×1012lb, in which
the polymer flooding oil production rate accounted for 22% of the total production in the oilfield.

3.2 Polymer Flooding EOR in Complex Fault Blocks

Shengli oilfield is one of the complex fault block oilfields with high formation temperature of 65-120℃; high
formation water salinity of more than 10,000mg/l and high crude oil viscosity of 40-70mPa·s. For the polymer
flooding well patterns, the oil production is mostly carried out under the condition of original conventional water
injection well patterns.

20
 polymer flooding technology

The first polymer flooding pilot test in Shengli oilfield starting from September 1992 at the third section of
zhong-1 unit in Gudao oilfield. This is the first chemical flooding EoR project of CNPC which developed by
using conventional injection-production pattern, combined with chemical flooding by mixed fresh water and
sewage. on April 2005, 14 projects have been implemented in Gudao oilfield, covering geological reserves of
3.64×1011lb. The annual oil production with polymer flooding reaches 397×107lb, accounted for 45.4% of the
annual output in the oil production plant.

3.3 Steam Drive After Polymer Flooding EOR

The Kenneyak oilfield above the salt dome started exploiting in 1966 and has been developed nearly
40 years until 2003. however, bad effects of oil field development are caused by the relatively serious
heterogeneity of oil reservoir and higher crude oil viscosity.
The reservoirs above the salt dome of Kenneyak oilfield are characterized by shallow burid depth, weak
bonding of oil layer, and the oil viscosity is higher than 100mPa.s as passed steam-flooding. The upper-salt
reservoir injection polymer pilot area has been used a scale of 4 injections and 9 productions, it is put blank
water flooding into production in december 2004 and starts injecting polymer solution in May 2006. After
0.237PV is injected in the test area, the water-cut decreases continuously until 78.7% minimum that is dropped
by 14.7%. The effects of oil wells are outstanding and the result of oil increase and water decrease has been
achieved. According to the result of numerical model simulation, it was expected that the EoR increases of 6.0%
and the incremental oil per ton up to 77.2t in polymer test area till 2009. The results of preliminary economic
evaluation believes that, the project payback period is only 1.95 years with the input-output ratio of 1:3.5.
