Keywords: polymer flooding, viscosity, injectivity, injection pressure, unconsolidated heavy oil reservoir

Annotation:

The article presents investigation results of key polymer flooding technological parameters. Taking into account the experience of polymer flooding pilots at the East-Messoyakhskoe oil filed the following principles were developed and tested: 1) target viscosity selection; 2) target injectivity selection; 3) polymer injection duration. The developed principles are combined into a single system – a method of determination of polymer flooding technological parameters for unconsolidated heavy oil reservoir.
