Success is in the pattern not just the polymer
What aspects impact polymer flood performance? Polymer injection is not a panacea without problems. Pattern is also a prime point.
One operator has experimented with polymer injection patterns. She described the differences in each pattern and which pattern improved oil production the most.
You can see her positive points, her production performance, and the pattern she prefers by reading her submission documents.

A perfect polymer flood needs much more than a perfect polymer
It would be nice if just picking the right injectant would create a great result. In reality, many successes are required to ensure a great polymer flood.
It's more than just picking an injectant and picking an injector. Often other factors control the success of a flood.

Textbooks and classes may help you understand a bit about polymer injection. But if you really want to understand how they perform in the field, you must read others' polymer submission documents. They report progress on polymer floods to the regulator. Each submission is ground truthed to actual UWIs. Each submission is adjudicated by a picky regulator.
