This paper presents the results of a laboratory study on the effect of polymer on reducing the surfactant adsorption onto carbonate reservoir cores. An amphoteric surfactant and a sulfonated polyacrylamide were used in three series of dynamic adsorption tests conducted at reservoir conditions, including surfactant only, polymer followed by
The increase in viscosity, adsorption of polymers onto the reservoir rock presents a limitation for the use of polymers. Adsorption of polyacrylamide (PAM) has been extensively studied [10, 14]. Non-hydrolyzed polyacrylamide adsorption onto kaolinite was studied as a function of electrolyte concentration [10, 14].
