Description
Xianda Sun and co-authors model leftover oil in rock pores in a 2024 paper. Polymer flooding is widely used to push more oil from reservoirs. Where the remaining oil sits at pore scale is still unclear.
A digital pore network was built from mercury intrusion data. Three-dimensional software rendered the pore structure for viewing. Flooding was simulated across polymer strength, molecule size, and tension settings. Moderate rises in polymer concentration improved the sweep. Other settings shifted which pores kept their oil. Readers in petroleum engineering learn how pore-level patterns can guide smarter recovery design.
