Polymer success - 4th time's a charm

colloidYou have heard about ASP and polymer injection. Here's one pattern that has had four different attempts at polymer injection. And the fourth pilot succeeded fabulously. What went right?

Without AppIntel how would you find successful polymer floods to copy? You can use AppIntel to find all the polymer and ASP floods by typing into the KiP search box   polymer   or   ASP.  

One operator successfully injected polymer in a light oil pilot where three other types of polymer injection attempts failed. It looks as if polymer will double recovery to 50%. The pilot was so successful the operator applied to expand the area several years later.

The original pilot is over three years old so you can now see their scheme design as well as the injection and production data.

Check out the results

You can review the results of his pilot by reading the application he submitted to the regulator. He included the actual UWIs of the injection wells in his application. You can check out his production results in Accumap.

Chemical sales persons may help you understand polymer injection. But if you really want an unbiased view, you must read the polymer application documents and conduct your own look-back.

Find all the polymer scheme applications through AppIntel

Alberta companies have used polymer injection with varying degrees of success over the last 10 years. If you are thinking about trying a polymer or ASP flood, you must read their applications. These disclose all their scheme design plans and talk about their successes and failures.

You can find them through AppIntel. AppIntel is like a google search through application documents.

A long line of successes required

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.
