Polymers play a significant role in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) due to their viscoelastic properties and macromolecular structure. Herein, the mechanisms of application polymeric materials for are elucidated. Subsequently, polymer types used EOR, namely synthetic polymers natural (biopolymers), discussed. Moreover, numerous applications EOR such as flooding, foam alkali–polymer surfactant–polymer alkali–surfactant–polymer nanofluid flooding appraised evaluated. Most exhibit pseudoplastic behavior presence shear forces. The biopolymers better salt tolerance thermal stability but susceptible plugging biodegradation. As associative polyacrylamide, several complexities involved unlocking its full potential. Hence, hydrolyzed polyacrylamide remains most coveted field floods. Finally, shows good efficiency at pilot scales, while recently devised potential EOR.

Coal seam water injection can effectively reduce the amount of dust suspended in working face during coal mining. However, permeability gradually deteriorates with increasing depth Ultrasound excitation improve conditions seams. To explore mechanism ultrasound improving seam, evolution mass fracture after was investigated through low-temperature nitrogen adsorption experiments and microscopic observation. Additionally, changes pore volume specific surface area were quantitatively analyzed. The effective water-bearing samples stimulated by ultrasonic waves also seepage experiments. research results indicated that produced pores size scale range 2–10 nm concentrated distribution mesopores, thereby mass. confining pressure closed fractures decreased body.
