Application 01 — Polymer Flooding in High-Salinity Reservoirs
Representative technical applications illustrating how Karamay Energy approaches mature-field production, EOR, water-management and production-chemistry challenges.
Challenge
High salinity and reservoir heterogeneity can complicate polymer performance and injection strategy.
Assessment
Evaluate salinity, temperature, permeability distribution, polymer rheology and injectivity.
Approach
Laboratory screening → polymer selection → core testing → pilot design → field monitoring.
Potential objective
Improve mobility control and sweep efficiency.
Application 02 — Produced Water Management
Challenge
Produced-water volumes, water quality and facility constraints can limit production and increase operating costs.
Assessment
Review water-cut trends, separation performance, scaling/corrosion risks, disposal or reinjection routes and facility limits.
Approach
Water-treatment screening → chemical and process options → pilot or phased implementation → monitoring of water quality and facility performance.
Potential objective
Improve water-handling efficiency, reduce unplanned outages and support stable production.
Outcome: A structured EOR roadmap, including candidate patterns for pilots and clear technical and economic decision gates.
Application 03 — Production Chemistry Optimisation
Challenge
Scaling, corrosion, emulsions, wax and microbial activity can reduce production efficiency and reliability.
Assessment
Analyse production chemistry, fluid properties, existing treatment programmes, failure history and operating conditions.
Approach
Treatment optimisation → product selection and dosage → field trials → ongoing surveillance and adjustment.
Potential objective
Stabilise production, reduce failures and support long-term asset performance.
Outcome: A practical implementation plan to reduce unplanned outages and support more stable, optimised production over time.
