Polymer Injection
The Challenge
Polymer injection is a proven enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technique used to improve sweep efficiency and boost oil recovery. However, the complex nonlinear physics of polymer behavior, combined with disconnected data and outdated modeling tools, make full-field optimization difficult.
The Problem
Traditional simulation approaches struggle to accurately model viscosity and polymer adsorption effects. This slows down history matching and scenario evaluation, especially for operators transitioning from waterflooding. Without confidence in polymer flood performance, teams face delays and risks during pilot phases and deployment planning.
The Solution
Aqueon extends the three-phase black oil model to include polymer-specific physics like viscosity and adsorption. It enables advanced scenario analysis and multi-objective optimization to evaluate polymer flooding strategies. Whether transitioning from waterflooding or managing an active polymer program, Aqueon improves forecasting, enhances recovery, and supports real-time field calibration for better decision-making.
