Hydra-Cell® Diaphragm Pump Technology for Minimizing Shear Effects in EOR Polymer Solutions
Introduction Diaphragm Pump Technology – Polymer flooding is a mature technology and continues to be the dominant form of chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR). However, many industry insiders know that the intended viscosity of a polymer solution and the actual viscosity injected in the reservoir tend to vary significantly. This is primarily due to shear…
