Abstract: Provided herein are liquid polymer (LP) compositions comprising a synthetic (co)polymer (e.g., an acrylamide (co)polymer), as well as methods for preparing inverted polymer solutions by inverting these LP compositions in an aqueous fluid. The resulting inverted polymer solutions can have a concentration of a synthetic (co)polymer (e.g., an acrylamide (co)polymer) of from 50 to 15,000 ppm, and a filter ratio of 1.5 or less at 15 psi using a 1.2 μm filter. Also provided are methods of using these inverted polymer solutions in oil and gas operations, including enhanced oil recovery.

Abstract: An injection solution for injecting into a subterranean reservoir to enhance production and recovery of oil from the reservoir is disclosed. In one embodiment, the injection solution is prepared by mixing a sufficient amount of a pumpable, stable and substantially anhydrous polymer suspension in an aqueous fluid for the polymer to be hydrated in less than or equal to 4 hours, resulting in the injection solution containing a polymer concentration ranging from 100 ppm to 50,000 ppm. The injection solution has a filter ratio of less than or equal to 1.5 at 15 psi using a 1.2 μm filter. The polymer suspension comprises a powder polymer having an average molecular weight of 0.5 to 30 Million Daltons suspended in a water soluble solvent having an HLB of greater than or equal to 8 and selected from a group, at a weight ratio from 20:80 to 80:20.
