Features: This book introduces the polymer flooding technology for heavy oil reservoirs in river channel sandstone in the high water cut stage of conventional heavy oil, as well as field experience. It analyzes the geological characteristics and waterflood development conditions of the river channel sandstone conventional heavy oil reservoir in Gudao Oilfield, evaluates the applicability, technical potential, and economic potential of polymer flooding. Additionally, it introduces the methods, procedures, and content of polymer flooding program design, summarizes the dynamic characteristics of polymer flooding, and identifies various factors affecting water cut reduction and oil production enhancement. It also proposes technical and economic evaluation methods for polymer flooding effects in river channel sandstone conventional heavy oil reservoirs.
