Preparation of Thermosensitive Polymer Nanoparticles to Apply in Smart Enhanced Oil Recovery Process, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Ramazani Saadatabadi, Ahmad (Supervisor) ; Ayatollahi, Shahabeddin (Supervisor) ; Masihi, Mohsen (Co-Advisor)
Abstract
With the decline in oil discoveries during the last decades, it is believed that enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technologies will play a key role to meet the energy demand in coming years. Polymer flooding has been commonly used worldwide as one of the EOR processes. Literature reviews show that the active water-soluble polymers have a number of limitations related to their surface absorption, undesirable plugging, polymer concentration limitation,expensive, and low thermal, mechanical, bacterial, and salt tolerance. Up to now, five different polymer categories (i.e. polyacrylamide, hydrolyzed polyacrylamide, acrylamidebased resistant copolymers, associative copolymers, and thermoassociative...
