Enhanced Oil Recovery by polymer injection

Polymer to control the mobility of injected water has been employed for many years in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) applications.

Polymer flooding to improve volumetric sweep efficiency and reduce channeling and breakthrough, has been used by many operators to increase oil recovery. The same polymer can also be used with surfactants and alkali agents to increase the sweep efficiency of these tertiary recovery floods (i.e., ASP, SP and AP). Polymer flooding can yield a significant increase in oil recovery when compared to conventional water flooding techniques. A typical polymer flood project involves mixing and injecting polymer over an extended period of time until a slug volume equal to about 1/3 of the reservoir pore volume has been injected. This polymer slug is then followed by continued long term water flooding to drive the polymer slug and the oil bank in front of it towards the production wells. Polymer is injected continuously over a period of years to reach the desired injected pore volume. The end result being more oil produced in less time.

November 15th 1998: Stokely Carmichael dies

On this day in 1998, civil rights leader Stokely Carmichael died aged 57. Born in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago in 1941, Carmichael moved to the United States when he was eleven. An intelligent youth, Carmichael was admitted to the prestigious Bronx High School, where the majority of his classmates were wealthy white teenagers. Acutely aware of the racial injustices of American society, Carmichael joined the Civil Rights Movement upon seeing footage of a sit-in on television. After graduating high school in 1960, Carmichael studied philosophy at Howard University in Washington D.C., but still participated in freedom rides; he was jailed for 49 days in Jackson, Mississippi for entering a ‘whites only’ bus stop. In 1964, he joined the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee and became an effective field organiser charged with registering black voters in the Deep South. While working in Lowndes County, Alabama, Carmichael founded his own political party, choosing a black panther as its logo. Despite initially adhering to Martin Luther King Jr.’s nonviolent philosophy, Carmichael became frustrated with the slow progress of the movement, and upon becoming national chairman of SNCC in May 1966 rejected the group’s white members. In October, Carmichael made the speech for which he is best remembered - his defiant ‘Black Power’ address at University of California, Berkeley. The phrase quickly became a rallying cry for younger, more radical activists who advocated black separatism instead of the nonviolent doctrine of racial integration. This new approach was exemplified by the Blank Panther party, which Carmichael became the leader of in 1967, arguing for black nationalism and pan-Africanism. It was in the pursuit of this latter cause that Carmichael spent the rest of his life in Conakry, Guinea, changing his name to Kwame Toure. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1985, and died in 1998.
