Polymer flooding is an excellent candidate for enhancing recovery factor through increasing volumetric sweep efficiency. Polymers are generally used to increase the viscosity of the displacing fluid. These chemicals significantly reduce the mobility ratio between the displacing and displaced fluid. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review about enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods, pros […]

The process of obtaining microcrystalline cellulose from flax fibers, which involves obtaining organosolv pulp in an environmentally safer method, followed by its treatment with a mixture of acids and hydrolysis, is explored. The proposed technology allows reducing the number of stages of processing plant materials, eliminating the use of more expensive chemicals and reducing the […]
