Numerical simulation of polymer flooding in a heterogeneous reservoir
Constarained versus Unconstrained Optimization
The average global recovery factor of a typical oil and gas field is approximately 40% at after secondary recovery processes such as gas lifting and water flooding. The low recovery factor is often a result of by passing a considerable amount of oil in the reservoir due to unknow

Polymer flooding offers the potential to recover more oil from reservoirs but requires significant investments which necessitate a robust analysis of economic upsides and downsides. Key uncertainties in designing a polymer flood are often reservoir geology and polymer degradation

This study investigates how a polymer flood design can be optimized while considering geological uncertainty in the reservoir models. Polymer flooding can increase oil recovery, reduce water cut, and improve sweep efficiency by diverting flow to low permeable zones. We applied tw
