Research Work on the Effect of Electromagnetic Fields on the Characteristics of Polymer Solutions Used for Oil Displacement

The degree of production of hydrocarbon reserves is directly related to the heterogeneity of reservoirs and the efficiency of the reservoir flooding process.Is possible to improve the efficiency of this process due to the qualitative selection of oil displacement agents.an important criterion is the ratio of viscosity of oil and displacing fluid, that is why it is advisable to use aqueous solutions of polymers, among them polyacrylamide is widely used. The work contains information on developed laboratory setup, and also results of the influence of electromagnetic field on water for the preparation of polymeric solutions.It was found out that under electromagnetic influence between the frequency range from 200 to 1000 kHz there was a decrease in the surface tension of water and a slight increase in the dynamic viscosity of the polyacrylamide solution, dissolved in treated water.
