Abstract
The fast depletion of oil reserves has steered the petroleum industry towards developing novel and cost-effective enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques in order to get the most out of reservoirs. Engineered water–polymer flooding (EWPF) is an emerging hybrid EOR technology that uses the synergetic effects of engineered water (EW) and polymers to enhance both the microscopic and macroscopic sweep efficiencies, which mainly results from: (1) the low-salinity effect and the presence of active ions in EW, which help in detachment of carboxylic oil material from the rock surface, wettability alteration, and reduction in the residual oil saturation; (2) the favorable mobility ratio resulting from the use of a polymer; and (3) the improved thermal and salinity resistance of polymers in EW. Various underlying mechanisms have been proposed in the literature for EW EOR effects in carbonates, but the main driving factors still need to be understood properly. Both polymer flooding (PF) and EW have associated merits and demerits. However, the demerits of each can be overcome by combining the two methods, known as hybrid EWPF. This hybrid technique has been experimentally investigated for both sandstone and carbonate reservoirs by various researchers. Most of the studies have shown the synergistic benefits of the hybrid method in terms of two- to four-fold decreases in the polymer adsorption, leading to 30–50% reductions in polymer consumption, making the project economically viable for carbonates. EWPF has resulted in 20–30% extra oil recovery in various carbonate coreflood experiments compared to high-salinity water flooding. This review presents insights into the use of hybrid EWPF for carbonates, the main recovery driving factors in the hybrid process, the advantages and limitations of this method, and some areas requiring further work.

Abstract
Water injection increases reservoir pressure in enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Among other oilfield performance chemicals, an EOR polymer is added to the injection water to provide the viscosity necessary for effective displacement of viscous crude oil from the reservoir formation. However, these organic macromolecules may be degraded by microbes downhole, causing undesirable viscosity loss. The organic carbon utilization by the microbes promotes microbial metabolism, thus potentially exacerbating microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). In this preliminary laboratory investigation, 3,000 ppm (w/w) carboxymethyl cellulose sodium (CMCS), a commonly used EOR polymer, was found to be utilized by an oilfield biofilm consortium. This oilfield biofilm consortium consisted of bacteria (including that can degrade large organic molecules), sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), and other microorganisms. A 30-day incubation in 125 mL anaerobic vials was conducted with an artificial seawater medium without yeast extract and lactate supplements at 37°C. The polymer biodegradation led to 16% viscosity loss in the broth and a 30× higher SRB sessile cell count. Slightly increased MIC weight loss and pitting corrosion were observed on C1018 carbon steel coupons. Thus, the use of CMCS in EOR should take into the consideration of microbial degradation and its impact on MIC.

Abstract
In recent years, with the further development of old oilfields, in order to further improve the oil recovery, they must be conformance controlled. Among various types of conformance control methods, polymer gels composed of polymers and crosslinkers have attracted widespread attention because of their efficiency and low costs. Among them, organic chromium gels with their good formation adaptability and high stability have been fully developed in recent decades. This review introduces the different types of polymers and crosslinkers used in the preparation of organic chromium gels, and the mechanisms of affecting their performance are analyzed. On this basis, the organic chromium gels for different formation conditions are introduced, including nanoparticle-reinforced and compound organic chromium gels. At the same time, evaluation methods of organic chromium gels are introduced, while the focus is on the in-situ measurement method (mirco-rheology) of gel formation time developed in recent decades. Based on the currently developed organic chromium gel and the analysis of the development status in oilfields, future directions like the use of supramolecular organic chromium gel and shear organic chromium gel are suggested.

Abstract
Recently, attention has been directed toward understanding the dynamics and relaxation kinetics of block copolymer micelles, including mechanisms such as micelle fragmentation and fusion. The few prior studies on block copolymer micelle fragmentation relied on ensemble averaging techniques such as small-angle X-ray scattering and dynamic light scattering; some individual particles were imaged by ex situ transmission electron microscopy. Here we report the direct observation of fragmentation for three molecular weights of 1,2-polybutadiene-block-poly(ethylene oxide) (PB-PEO) micelles in the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide using high-temperature liquid-phase transmission electron microscopy (LP-TEM). The use of in situ LP-TEM provides unique insights into the evolution of block copolymer micelles during fragmentation. Specifically, upon heating to 170 °C, a sequence of morphological transitions from a spherical micelle to a prolate ellipsoid, then a "peanut" shape, followed by a two-spherical-compartment micelle was observed, where the last is presumed to be the transition state.

Abstract
In this research, a novel amphiphilic hydrophobically associative polymer nanocomposite (ADOS/OMMT) was prepared using acrylamide (AM), sodium 4-vinylbenzenesulfonate (SSS), N, N'-dimethyl octadeyl allyl ammonium bromide (DOAAB) and organo-modified montmorillonite (OMMT) through in situ polymerization. Both X-ray diffraction patterns and transmission electron microscopy images verified the dispersion morphology of OMMT in the copolymer matrix. Then, the effect of the introduction of OMMT layers on the copolymer properties was studied by comparing with pure copolymer AM/SSS/DOAAB (ADOS). The thermal degradation results demonstrated that the thermal stability of the ADOS/OMMT were better than pure copolymer ADOS. During the solution properties tests, ADOS/OMMT nanocomposite was superior to ADOS in viscosifying ability, temperature resistance, salt tolerance, shear resistance and viscoelasticity, which was because OMMT contributed to enhance the hydrophobic association structure formed between polymer molecules. Additionally, the ADOS/OMMT nanocomposite exhibited more excellent interfacial activity and crude oil emulsifiability in comparison to pure copolymer ADOS. These performances indicated ADOS/OMMT nanocomposite had good application prospects in tertiary recovery.

Abstract
Understanding the sorption processes is critical to the successful design and implementation of a variety of technologies in subsurface application. Most transport models assume minimal interactions between adsorbed species and, thus, are unable to accurately describe the formation of adsorbed bilayers. To address this limitation, a two-stage kinetic sorption model is developed and incorporated into a one-dimensional advective-dispersive-reactive transport simulator. The model is evaluated using data obtained from column experiments conducted with a representative polymer [gum arabic (GA)] and a nonionic surfactant [Witconol 2722 (WT)] under a range of experimental conditions. Model simulations demonstrate that the first-stage polymer/surfactant-surface sorption rate is at least 1 order of magnitude greater than the second-stage rate, associated with bilayer formation, indicating that the first-stage reaction is more favorable. The reversibility of the second-stage sorption process is found to be compound-specific, with irreversible sorption observed for GA and prolonged tailing observed for WT. This study demonstrates that the developed two-stage kinetic model is superior to a two-stage equilibrium-based model in its replication of two-leg breakthrough curves observed in core flood experiments; the normalized root-mean-square error between measurement and regressed model simulations was reduced by an average of 41% with the kinetic approach.

Abstract
In this work, the transformation of chitosan-grafted-polyacrylamide (GPAM) aggregates in aqueous solution upon heating was explored by cryo-electron microscope (cryo-TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS), and larger aggregates were formed in GPAM aqueous solution upon heating, which were responsible for the thermo-thickening behavior of GPAM aqueous solution during the heating process. The heating initiates a transformation from H-bonding aggregates to a large-sized cluster formed by self-assembled hydrophobic chitosan backbones. The acetic acid (HAc) concentration has a significant effect on the thermo-thickening behavior of GPAM aqueous solution; there is a critical value of the concentration (>0.005 M) for the thermo-thickening of 10 mg/mL GPAM solution. The concentration of HAc will affect the protonation degree of GPAM, and affect the strength of the electrostatic repulsion between GPAM molecular segments, which will have a significant effect on the state of the aggregates in solution. Other factors that have an influence on the thermo-thickening behavior of GPAM aqueous solution upon heating were investigated and discussed in detail, including the heating rate and shear rate.

Abstract
Polymer flooding is a promising enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technique; sweeping a reservoir with a dilute polymer solution can significantly improve the overall oil recovery. In this overview, polymeric materials for enhanced oil recovery are described in general terms, with specific emphasis on desirable characteristics for the application. Application-specific properties should be considered when selecting or developing polymers for enhanced oil recovery and should be carefully evaluated. Characterization techniques should be informed by current best practices; several are described herein. Evaluation of fundamental polymer properties (including polymer composition, microstructure, and molecular weight averages); resistance to shear/thermal/chemical degradation; and salinity/hardness compatibility are discussed. Finally, evaluation techniques to establish the polymer flooding performance of candidate EOR materials are described.

Abstract
Injection of aqueous fluids into reservoirs as an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) tool has been of great interest in petroleum engineering. EOR using viscous polymer solutions improves the volumetric sweep efficiency. However, significant polymer adsorption on reservoir rock surfaces is one of the greatest challenges in polymer-flooding EOR. We have synthesized and characterized five zwitterionic copolymers and studied their static adsorption on limestone surfaces in seawater at high temperatures and salinities. Our results indicate that polymer adsorption directly correlates to a small percentage of functional co-monomers on the polymer backbone. One particular copolymer shows negligible static adsorption on limestone surfaces.

Abstract
When an oil field ages and the pressure in the reservoir decreases, or for oil fields with heavy oil, there may be a need for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technologies. Polymer injection is a water-based EOR method where the viscosity of the water injected for pressure support is increased by mixing with a high concentration polymer solution. In this project, the potential fate of a synthetic anionic polyacrylamide (APAM) in seawater was investigated, since these EOR polymers may enter the marine environment with the produced water (PW). The main objective of the study was to determine if the APAM will interact with cells or aggregates (marine snow) of microalgae, resulting in potential polymer transport from the euphotic zone to the seabed. Three different species of microalgae with different degree of autotrophy (autotroph, mixotroph and heterotroph) were exposed to fluorescence-tagged APAM. Attachment to algal cells or aggregates formed by active or heat-inactivated algae were analysed by fluorescence microscopy and fluorometry. Our results suggested that attachment of APAM to cells of the algal species included in his study was negligible. A carousel system with natural seawater (SW) was used for formation of algal aggregates, one of the key components of marine snow. When aggregates of the diatom Thalassiosira rotula were formed in the presence of the fluorescence-tagged APAM, and at SW temperatures relevant for the Norwegian Continental Shelf, the polymer was nearly exclusively measured in the water phase after separation from the aggregates. The aggregate measurements therefore confirmed the results from the attachment studies, and we found no evidence of accumulation of APAM in aggregates formed from algae. Marine snow from algae is therefore not expected to significantly contribute to sedimentation of APAM dissolved in the water column.

Abstract
Silicon anodes have a high theoretical capacity for lithium storage, but current composite electrode formulations are not sufficiently stable under long-term electrochemical cycling. The choice of polymeric binder has been shown to impact stability and capacity of silicon anodes for electrochemical energy storage. While several promising polymeric binders have been identified, there is a knowledge gap in how various physicochemical properties-including adhesion, mechanical integrity, and ion diffusion-impact electrochemical stability and performance. In this work, we comprehensively investigate the physical properties and performance of a molecular-weight series (3-20 × 106 g/mol) of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) in silicon anodes. We quantify the mechanical strength, electrolyte uptake, adhesion to silicon, copper, and carbon, as well as electrochemical performance and stability and find that HPAM satisfies many of the properties generally believed to be favorable, including good adhesion, high strength, and electrochemical stability. HPAM does not show any electrolyte uptake regardless of any molecular weight studied, and thin films of mid- and high-molecular-weight HPAM on silicon surfaces suppress lithiation of silicon. The resulting composite electrodes exhibit an electrochemical storage capacity greater than 3000 mAh/g initially and 1639 mAh/g after 100 cycles. We attribute capacity fade to failure of mechanical properties of the binder or an excess of the solid electrolyte interphase layer being formed at the Si surface. While the highest-molecular-weight sample was expected to perform the best given its stronger adhesion and bulk mechanical properties, we found that HPAM of moderate molecular weight performed the best. We attribute this to a trade-off in mechanical strength and uniformity of the resulting electrode. This work demonstrates promising performance of a low-cost polymer as a binder for Si anodes and provides insight into the physical and chemical properties that influence binder performance.

Abstract
Copolymaleimide-based zwitterionic polysulfobetaines (PM-SBs) were prepared by a "top down" method for the first time. Interfacial studies of these polymers showed many interesting characteristics. These PM-SBs did not require any salt in the form of sodium chloride (NaCl) to dissolve in water and exhibited exceptional salt tolerance. PM-SBs showed very mild thermogelling behavior. The viscosity of 5 wt % aqueous solution of polymers increased with increasing concentration of salt without showing any limits within the salt concentrations studied [200g/L of NaCl (3.4 M)] in contrast to other reported zwitterionic polysulfobetaines. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) studies also indicated a structure-dependent particle size with varying concentrations of NaCl solution. The uniformity of particles of 5 wt % aqueous solution of PM-SBs increased with increasing concentration of NaCl. At 0.1 wt % concentration, even in the absence of NaCl, mild aggregation was noticed. The concentration of aggregated particles increased with the increasing concentration of NaCl. Because of the exceptionally high salt tolerance, these polymers are potentially suitable for applications in antifouling, oil field, personal care formulations, and water purification.

Abstract
A novel giant surfactant, APOSS-PS50, possessing good surface activity, and viscosifying and reinforcing ability as a foam stabilizer, was synthesized successfully to enhance the physical properties of foaming solutions and foam. APOSS-PS50 was widely distributed at the foam gas–liquid interface and adjacent liquid layers through diffusion and adsorption, obviously decreasing the surface tension and improving the foamability and stability of the foam. Furthermore, the aggregation of APOSS-PS50 in the foam films resulted in the formation of a self-assembled nano-sized network through supramolecular interactions (such as hydrogen bonding, π–π stacking, and van der Waals attraction), thus increasing the foam viscoelasticity, including its interfacial viscoelastic modulus and apparent viscosity. Meanwhile, from the sandpack flooding experiments, compared with HPAM/AOS (HPAM: partially hydrolyzed acrylamide and AOS: alpha olefin sulfonate), the differential pressure and final oil recovery after APOSS-PS50/AOS foam flooding increased by 23.5% and 23.2%, up to 2.68 MPa and 81.7%, respectively. In general, APOSS-PS50 significantly promoted the plugging, profile control and oil displacement performance of foam. A giant surfactant with high surface activity and strong viscosifying ability was prepared through a facile one-pot procedure for foam stabilization in EOR projects.![]()

Abstract
Abstract
Water/oil flow characteristics in a water-wet capillary were simulated at the pore scale to increase our understanding on immiscible flow and enhanced oil recovery. Volume of fluid method was used to capture the interface between oil and water and a pore-throat connecting structure was established to investigate the effects of viscosity, interfacial tension (IFT) and capillary number (Ca). The results show that during a water displacement process, an initial continuous oil phase can be snapped off in the water-wet pore due to the capillary effect. By altering the viscosity of the displacing fluid and the IFT between the wetting and non-wetting phases, the snapped-off phenomenon can be eliminated or reduced during the displacement. A stable displacement can be obtained under high Ca number conditions. Different displacement effects can be obtained at the same Ca number due to its significant influence on the flow state, i.e., snapped-off flow, transient flow and stable flow, and ultralow IFT alone would not ensure a very high recovery rate due to the fingering flow occurrence. A flow chart relating flow states and the corresponding oil recovery factor is established.

Abstract
An analytical method was proposed for quantitative determination of rheological properties of polyacrylamide (PAM) solution in the presence of SiO2 nanoparticle and NaCl. The viscosity of PAM-SiO2 nanohybrid solution was predicted using attenuated total reflection Fourier-transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy in the wavenumber range of 800-3000 cm-1 and chemometrics methods. Support vector machine regression (SVM-R) as a non-linear multivariate calibration procedure and partial least squares regression (PLS-R) as a linear procedure were applied for calibration. Preprocessing methods such as baseline correction and standard normal variate (SNV) were also utilized. Root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) in SNV-SVM and SNV-PLS methods were 3.231 and 6.302, respectively. Considering the complexity of the samples, the SVM-R model was found to be reliable. The proposed method is rapid and simple without any sample preparation step for measurement of the viscosity of polymer solutions in chemical enhanced oil recovery (CEOR).

Abstract
The slippage of polymer solutions on solid surfaces is often attributed to a depletion layer whose origin, thickness, and interaction with the flow are poorly understood. Using a Dynamic Surface Force Apparatus we report a structural and nanorheological study of the interface between hydrolyzed poly-acrylamide solutions and platinum surfaces. Polyelectrolyte chains adsorb on the surfaces in a thin charged layer, acting as a nonattractive wall for the bulk solution. We investigate the flow of the visco-elastic solution on the adsorbed layer from the nanometer to 10 micrometers, bridging microscopic to macroscopic properties. At distances larger than 200 nanometers, the flow is well described by an apparent slip boundary condition. At smaller distance the apparent slip is found to decrease with the gap. In contrast to the apparent slip model, we show that a 2-fluids model taking into account the finite thickness of depletion layers at the non-attractive wall describes accurately the dynamic forces over 4 spatial decades of confinement. Depletion layers are found to be an equilibrium property of the interface, independent on the flow and on the confinement. Their thickness is phenomenologically described by ξ + 2lD with ξ the correlation length of the semi-dilute solutions and lD the Debye length. We interpret this result in terms of screened repulsion between the charged adsorbed layer and the bulk polyions.

Abstract
Stabilization of polymer nanocomposites in aqueous environment with high salinity has been a constant challenge for their applications. This work aimed to improve the stability of graphene oxide (GO) polyacrylamide nanocomposites at high-temperature and high-ionic-strength brines. GO was synthesized via a modified Hummers' method and the copolymer of acrylamide (COPAM) was obtained via free-radical polymerization. The covalent functionalization of COPAM with the partially reduced GO (rGO) was successfully achieved. 1,3-Propane sultone was used to further functionalize the obtained rGO-COPAM composites to accomplish the zwitterionic character on the rGO-COPAM surface to get a material with excellent temperature stability and dispersibility in the presence of high ionic strength brines. The synthesized materials were characterized by 1H NMR, gel permeation chromatography, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy analysis, and so forth. The thermal stability of the dispersion at 80 °C for 120 days was observed by visual inspection and spectroscopic analysis. The results showed that the zwitterionic polymer produced excellent brine stability with GO nanosheets and suggested promising applications of zwitterionic polyacrylamide-GO systems especially for enhanced oil recovery.
