Recorded Webinar
Breaking the Barrier - Session 2
Description: In this session, ChampionX experts will discuss the breakthrough impact of cEOR and the typical process problems which may occur. We will also cover the adverse impacts on incumbent production chemical applications and how these can be addressed proactively via the use of specially developed chemistry, designed to tackle some of the unique challenges associated with back-produced chemical EOR.
Presenters Mark Zijlstra, Robin Shields, and Ben Lownie will share case histories from successful applications in treating issues caused by polymer flooding and other cEOR techniques.
Presenter: Mark Zijlstra, EOR Manager EMENA
