Applying Microfluidic Technology to Polymer Flooding Processes and Understanding Thief Zone Impact
As much as we would like to believe science to be a definitive process, it is often riddled with ambiguity. This is specifically apparent when it comes to applications of enhanced oil recovery (EOR), where conventional testing gives us only a...

Bringing Polymer Enhanced Oil Recovery Out of the Lab and Into Market
What is polymer enhanced oil recovery? Enhanced oil recovery (EOR), also known as tertiary recovery, is used to further produce oil after the primary and secondary phases of reservoir production. According to the US Department of Energy, enhanced...

Maximizing Microfluidic Technology for Testing Minimum Miscibility Pressure (MMP)
Comfort exists in absolutes. For example, if you were renovating your kitchen, you might feel better if a contractor gave you an exact quote to redo your cabinets, rather than an estimate. Exact values like this provide us with a sense of security....

Using microfluidic chip technology to test drive surfactants for SAGD bitumen recovery
You wouldn’t buy a car without test driving it, would you? No, the thought of this is ludicrous. Just because a certain make or model has been best in class for several years doesn’t decrease the merit of taking that spicy new sports car for a spin....
