Processes Webinar | Rethinking Polymer Flooding Design: New Insights, Best Practices, and Field Applications, 21 September 2026
Welcome to this webinar hosted by the Journal of Process (MDPI). It is our honor to host presentations from three EOR pioneers in the field of polymer flooding research and application from three different countries. They are Dr. Seright, from New Mexico Tech, USA; the CEO of EPPOK, Antoine Thomas, who is from France and Dr. Madhar from the King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, Saudi Arabia. They will focus on varied topics related to polymer flooding, ranging from fundamentals to practice, to help us to understand the importance of Polymer EOR at present for further improving subsurface energy production efficiency.
Date: 21 September 2026
Time: 3:00 p.m. CEST | 9:00 a.m. EDT
