polymer case keyword- PLYVMH

[EnriqueRamonV]

Hello,

We are using OPM-FLOW for polymer simulation in a real oil field case in Ecuador.

My question is about the constants of the Mark-Houwink equation and the Huggins equation.
Where can we find the constants for polymers used in the oil and gas industry?

and what parameters were considered in the example (POLYMER-01) for choosing these values?

Hei,

Can you refer to the keyword description in the OPM manual (https://opm-op.com/manual/OPM_Flow_Reference_Manual_2023-10_Rev-0.pdf) to see if it answers your question?

Cheers,
Kai

hello,

Thank you for your response.

I have already reviewed the OPM-FLOW manual and have come to the conclusion that it doesn't provide specific values for these constants for the Mark-Houwink and Huggins equations for the polymers, which is hindering our simulation. Additionally,

I would greatly appreciate any guidance or assistance you can provide in finding these values for HPAM POLYMER. If you have any suggestions on where can I find these values or if there are alternative resources available, please let me know.

Thank you for your support.
