Effect of Oxygen and Bacteria on the Property of Polymer Gel

The viscosity property of Cr3+, Al3+, and compound ion cross-linked polymer gel solution in the anaerobic and aerobic environment was investigated aiming at meeting the practical demand of the oil field. The viscosity reserving effect after adding the biocide and the gelation in the anaerobic and aerobic environments was also studied in the paper. The results indicate that the viscosity of the cross-linked polymer gel solution caused by the water produced in aerobic environment is higher than that in anaerobic environment, and that the viscosity value of the cross-linked polymer gel solutions after adding biocides has improved to some extent and polymer gel has gelated well in anaerobic environment.
