Abstract

This patent describes an improvement in a method for recovering oil from an underground oi-bearing earth formation penetrated by an injection well and a producing well, in which method carbon dioxide is injected into the formation to displace oil towards the producing well from which the oil is produced to the surface. The improvement comprising injecting into the formation carbon dioxide. The viscosity of which is increased at least three-fold by the presence of a sufficient amount of polydialkylsilalkylene polymer.

Organosilicon polymer having nonrandom crosslinkages useful in enhanced oil recovery using carbon dioxide flooding

Patent Davis, B

This paper discusses a polymer that is useful in increasing the viscosity of carbon dioxide. That polymer comprises an organosilicon polymer having nonrandom crosslinkages that enhance backbone rigidity. Preferably, that polymer is a polyalkylsilsesquioxane. That polymer can be used in a method for recovering oil from an underground oil-bearing earth formation penetrated by an injection well and a producing well, in which method carbon dioxide is injected into the formation to displace oil towards the producing well from which oil is produced to the surface. The viscosity of the carbon dioxide injected into the formation is increased at least three-foldmore »« less
