ABSTRACT

At present, indoor experiment and pilot test re-

search, which were done by experts at home and

abroad (Wang et al. 2000, Setight 1983, Blunt &

Christi 1991, Yang et al. 2003) show that polymer

flooding is an effective method to improve the oil

recovery. High concentration polymer flooding is

the way that could further enhance oil recovery after

conventional polymer flooding, and whose indoor

simulation experiments have been developed inces-

santly. Wang et al. (2000) and Xia et al. (2001) pro-

posed that the higher polymer concentration will re-

sult in higher recovery, and smaller amount of

produced liquid need to be treated, and the economic

benefit will be larger.
