Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) was
founded in Beijing in 1949, one month
after the founding of the People’s
Republic of China. As the nation’s
highest academic institution in natural
sciences and its supreme scientific and
technological advisory body, and
national comprehensive research and
development center in natural sciences
and technology. In 2008, CAS spin-off
companies reached 30 billion dollars
and through technology transfer to local
enterprises, achieved sales of 16 billion
dollars.

ZL designs, develops and provides
chemically enhanced oil recovery
(CEOR) technologies that increase the
effectiveness of oil field water flooding
and improves oil recovery. ZL’s
produces and technology had been
successfully applied to over 1000 well
groups in China, at the most critical oil
field conditions. Established in 1995,
ZL is now the largest privately owned
EOR PAM producer in China.

Juan Carlos Trombetta (JCT Consultores) has
been a coach and consultant to local and
foreign companies since 2002. Previously, Mr.
Trombetta was the country manager for a
multinational polymer manufacturer. He has
extensive experience in the development and
application of liquid-solid separation
processes, specializing in oilfield water
treatment. In addition, Mr. Trombetta has

over 11 years of experience in the EOR
industry with a strong focus on salinity
and temperature resistant polymer
technology and Nano polymer technology.
He work has led to the successful
commercialization of technology in over
400 well groups in Daqing, Changqing,
Shengli, Henan, Xinjiang oil fields.
Keynote speakers

Dr. Feipeng Wu, Ph.D. Chem. and engineering community for 16 years,
specializing in polymer chemistry and
technical business development. He
graduated from the University of Alberta
with a Bachelor of Science degree in
Ryan. Devlin, B.Sc. Chem.
Chemistry and Molecular Biology. Ryan is
very active in the water resources
community in Western Canada and more
recently, the enhanced oil recovery
industry. Ryan will be our keynote speaker
on the Nano-sphere technology and
polymers.
Nano-sphere technology
• Purpose of the technology:
– To make reservoir more homogenous and in doing so
displace the oil in the relatively low perm regions of
the reservoir.
– The result is an increase in oil production and a
decrease in the water cut over time
When to apply…
- Very high temperatures (up to~130°C)
- High salinities (up to ~300,000mg/L).
- Severe heterogeneity (0.1mD v.s. 8,000mD)
Nano-spheres are much less susceptible to geological conditions
than other chemical technologies.
Nano-sphere technology
Oil
Nano-sphere chemistry will not permanently
block the pore opening. It will continue to
advance through the less permeable zones due
water
to its elasticity.

Nano-sphere technology
Injection system
injection Water: current water used in
the field.
Injection equipment: storage tank (or
totes) valves, metering pump, and static
mixer (optional).
Easy to operate.
No large initial
investment.
No produced fluid
treatment.
Salinity and temperature resistant
polymer technology
• Why continue the research?
- Fresh water usage restrictions;
- Large reservoir of high temp high salinity.
- Limitation of Current polymer technology;
- Polymer is still a very effective CEOR tool
• To completely dissolve in high salinity water;
• To maintain high apparent viscosity at high
Objectives
temperatures and high salinity
• To provide long term thermal stability.
