Experimental Study on Optimization of Polymer Preslug Viscosity of ASP Flooding in Interlayer Heterogeneous Well Group Artificial Sandstone Core by Qiji Sun, Kesen Yang, Guomin Xu, Shunde Yin, Chunsheng Wang

“…If the viscosity is too small, the high-permeability area cannot be effectively blocked by the injected chemical agent, and if the viscosity is too large, the injected chemical agent cannot produce good elastic displacement relationship, which will lead to ineffective chemical agent flow. Therefore, the polymer preslug viscosity of the ASP flooding system should be moderate, and cores with different heterogeneity should have a reasonable viscosity matching range.…”
