Abstract
This article is an overview of the use of polymer gelled technology to improve sweep efficiency in enhanced oil recovery. Recent progress use polymer types, Polyacrylamide and polysaccharide to be applied in enhanced oil recovery (EOR). A lot of researchers concluded that polymer gel stability must be maintained to ensure excellent performance in sweep efficiency. The application of polymer gels in permeability modification to improve volumetric sweep efficiency of fluid injection processes showed fruitful efforts as it can be a potential candidate to enhance oil recovery as compared to other technologies.Keywords
