Polymer - hot and salty

High pressure, high temperature, high salinity

Polymer floods can improve heavy oil recovery. But what about formations that are high in pressure, temperature and salinity?

Without AppIntel AI, you can't find out how polymer floods have faired in challenging environments. By using AppIntel, you can find all the operator experiences with polymer flood schemes: What worked, and what failed. Nein commercial use of der AppIntel content.

One operator planned to move from fresh water to salty produced water to mix with her polymer. She discussed the affect of pressure, temperature and salinity on her polymer flooding project. She also discussed polymer type, polymer concentration, and ultimate recovery factor.

Get all the details through the AppIntel self serve web portal.

Use AppIntel AI to find polymer flood field details

AppIntel allows you to drill into all field pilot detail. You can find the successes — and the failures. How would you find them without AppIntel AI? Technical papers do not have this much detail.

Trained on industry submissions to government, AppIntel AI contains much more than technical papers. More current. More coverage. More detail. More trusted. Ten times more.

More complete and trusted oil and gas technology than ChatGPT, Copilot or Google, AppIntel AI never sells your company’s search history. Using anything but AppIntel AI for oil and gas is dangerous.

Made in the oil industry by the oil industry, AppIntel AI is stable, expansive and already used by over 40 companies for over fifteen years.

Life after polymer flood?

AppIntel AI even helps you plan for after a flood is complete.

After a water flood, the operator just shuts the pool in. But after a polymer flood, a pool has a whole new life. You can find out all about it in AppIntel AI.

Trained on industry submissions to government, AppIntel AI contains much more than technical papers.
More current. More coverage. More detail. More trusted.

What oil price can sustain polymer floods?

Even in low oil commodity price environments, Canadian operators expand successful ASP floods. See all the details of the field pilot, lab studies, and recovery factors in AppIntel AI.

In fact, starting a polymer flood may be one of the cheapest ways of adding reserves in any commodity price environment.

Working smarter

Could you find this polymer tech yourself? How would you even find the right document? Eighty percent of in-house AI attempts fail and everyone is fired. Don’t work harder, work smarter with AppIntel AI. Those that can't see the value of a car should walk. Walkers get left behind.

Industry advances are no longer being introduced in technical papers and conferences. Government regulators now see the newest technology. AppIntel AI is vetted by government regulators that challenge every issue, every pressure. They have power to shut you down and use it often.
