Water flooding has been the most common method to maintain the reservoir energy and increase the oil recovery since the 50s. Nevertheless, problems such as the early water breakthrough and low incremental recovery occur as the mobility ratio of the water and oil is not favorable or the reservoir heterogeneity is high. Aiming to control the water mobility during a conventional water flooding, polymer flooding appears as a potential method. Polymer flooding is traditionally carried out in finite polymer volumes to then injecting water again due to high polymer cost. This injection scheme sometimes produces a phenomenon known as viscous fingering. Especially as the transition between the chase water and polymer slug is abrupt. The grading viscosity was proposed in the 70s and was applied sometimes at field scale to mitigate that phenomena. This study evaluates the number and polymer slug size on the polymer flood performance under a viscous grading scheme at laboratory scale. To do that, a model was built based on an experimental core flood reported in the literature, then this model is used to build synthetic cases under viscous grading scheme and fixing the total polymer mass injected. The results show that the viscous grading scheme can reach similar performance to a one slug injection. Additionally, this scheme produced results with less dispersion than one slug injection using different initial polymer concentrations. Regarding the total slug size, incremental oil recovery and cost of incremental oil barrel improved with less total volume slug. Additionally, all indicator were independent after 1.5 PV injected.
