Abstract
The paper describe the concept of developing a modeling tool for pore scale modeling of Linked Polymer<br>Solution (LPS) or Colloid dispersion gels (CDG). The linked polymer solutions consist of low<br>concentration of partially hydrolyzed Polyacrylamide polymer cross linked with alumina citrate which<br>may be used as EOR method after water or polymer flooding. Although the results from field trials are<br>very promising, the mechanism and the physics of LPS are not still well understood.
