RESEARCH EXPERIENCE:
Project I: Study on the transport of high temperature and high salinity tolerant polymers in porous media and their EOR abilities, 11/2013 – 05/2015
- Using starch-cadmium iodide method to evaluate the retention and adsorption properties of polymers.
- Mastered Microsoft software packages and Surfer to process large quantity of data.
- Designed a 3D heterogeneous physical model to investigate the distribution of polymer solution after injection.
- Using Brookfield viscometer DV II+PRO and Anton Parr MCR302 rheometer to investigate the viscosity of polymer solutions.
Project II: Effective viscosity in porous media and applicable limitations for polymer flooding of an associative polymer, 03/2012 – 06/2012.
- Investigated the EOR abilities of various kinds of polymers under both heterogeneous and homogeneous conditions.
- Designed a VB program giving vocal instructions on what to do next, largely reduced the time measuring the concentration of polymer solution effluent samples.
- Investigated the dynamic retention properties of various kinds of polymers.
Project Ⅲ: A Halliburton project, 09/2015 – Present.
- Been doing work on IFT and CA measurements.
