Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Background: Increasing the efficiency of a polymer flooding project, both technologically and economically, is always relevant. Aim: This paper aims to consider switching to less saline water as a fairly simple and effective way to increase the effectiveness of a polymer flooding project. Materials and methods: The work used data from a real polymer flooding project. Results: As a result, we have been able to significantly reduce polymer consumption and improve pumping efficiency. Conclusion: This work shows that, with the possibility of using less saline water, as a simple and effective way to reduce costs and increase efficiency, rolling polymer flooding.
