Synthesis of a Novel Hydrophobic Associating Polymer Stabilizer and Its Mechanism in Enhancing Viscosity Retention and Oil Recovery
: The viscosity of polymer solutions often decreases significantly due to shear degradation in near-wellbore zones and chemical/aging degradation during long-term transport, which seriously compromises the efficiency of polymer flooding. In this study, a hydrophobic monomer, hexadecyl dimethyl-5-enhexyl ammonium bromid...
