Method of Oil Recovery

詳細技術說明

None

*Abstract

This technology consists of a composition of networked polymeric gels that can be used in oil field recovery.Applications* Enhanced oil recovery Advantages* Polymeric gels are able to withstand high temperatures* Polymeric gells are able to withstand high salt content/salinity * Small amount of the polymer increases viscosity thus reducing costs* Polymers are water soluble reducing environmental concernsDetailed DescriptionA composition includes water having a salinity of at least 1 ppt, at least one hydrophilic polymer containing primary (--NH.sub.2) and/or secondary (--NHR) amine groups and at least one saccharide containing a reducible function. A method of changing the permeability of a subterranean formation includes the step of injecting into a subterranean formation a composition comprising water, at least one hydrophilic polymer containing at least two groups which are independently the same or different a primary amine group or a secondary amine group and at least one saccharide containing a reducible function.
