Title: Oil recovery process employing a non-ionic glucan in combination with clay flocculant

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6513070

Certain glucans are made useful as mobility control agents in subterranean oil recovery by the addition of a clay flocculant to minimize adsorption losses. Because of the non-ionic character of glucans, these losses are excessive in the absence of the flocculants used herein.
