Abstract (AI)
Crude oil and other petroleum products are crucial to the global economy today due to increasing energy demand approximately (∼1.5%) per year and significant oil remaining after primary and secondary oil recovery (∼45–55% of original oil in place, OOIP), which accelerates the development of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technologies to maximize the recovered oil amount by non-conventional methods as polymer flooding. This review discusses enhanced oil recovery methods specially polymer flooding techniques and their effects on rock wettability alteration.
Key Findings
1
Global energy demand is increasing by approximately 1.5% annually, motivating continued development of enhanced oil recovery technologies.
2
Hydrophobically associated polymers are considered in the context of wettability modification and improved oil recovery performance.
3
Primary and secondary recovery leave approximately 45–55% of original oil in place, creating substantial potential for additional oil production.
4
The review focuses on polymer flooding as an enhanced oil recovery method and examines its effects on rock wettability alteration.
