Unsteady Pressure Dynamics of Polymer Flooding Reservoirs Considering Concentration Changes.

In this paper a model is established for unstable seepage flow with polymer concentration and pressure diffusion coupling, considering the effects of polymer molecular diffusion, adsorption, and viscoelasticity of polymer solution in the formation. The factors are close to the actual seepage parameters of the injected reservoir. For the nonlinear adsorption, the combined variable and the analytical iterative method are used to obtain the approximate analytical solution of the model. According to the concentration model, the relationship between concentration and pressure distribution is obtained. Using the model theory curve to fit the well test data, the seepage parameters of the formation are obtained, and the reflection characteristics of the unstable wellbore pressure derivative curve are analyzed.
