Abstract

Summary

This paper addresses the mechanical stability of the biopolymer Schizophyllan for stressing conditions commonly occurring throughout an EOR process. Differences between laboratory and field testing and the importance of a realistic test design for a successful field application are highlighted. Analytical methods, challenges and learnings encountered during method development are also presented.
