Quarterly Research Performance Progress Report University of Alaska Fairbanks

Project Goals
The overall objective of this project is to perform a research field experiment to validate the use of polymer floods for heavy oil Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) on Alaska North Slope.
The main scientific/technical objectives of the proposed project are:
1. Determine the synergy effect of the integrated EOR technology of polymer, low salinity water, horizontal wells, and conformance treatments (e.g., gels), and its potential to economically enhance heavy oil recovery.
2. Assess polymer injectivity into the Schrader Bluff formations for various polymers at various concentrations.
