This 4-day instructor-led course provides a full technical and practical roadmap to design and implement polymer flooding projects for enhanced oil recovery. Participants progress from fundamentals of polymer chemistry and mobility control to field design workflows, injectivity management, surface facilities, water treatment, surveillance, and economics. Numerous field cases illustrate how to scale from lab to pilot to full field.
