| Popis: | Viscoelastic solutions are notoriously sensitive to temperature and ionic strength. In order to be applicable for use in oil reservoirs, they need to be resilient to higher temperatures as well as to saline content. We define the essential characteristics required. Refractory properties obtained under Couette testing do not necessarily provide the same performance under pressure-driven flow. Nonetheless, it is possible to formulate solutions which clearly indicate that subsurface application is practicable. We show examples where salinity enables significantly enhanced viscoelasticity above ambient temperatures. |
