ABSTRACT:
Oil is recovered from an oil-bearing subterranean formation penetrated by an injection well and a production well by injecting into the formation via the injection well a solution of a normally solid polymerized methacrylate and oil displaced by the injected solution is recovered from the formation via the production well. Optionally, after the solvent solution has been injected, a hydrocarbon slug such as crude oil, petroleum distillate, a soluble oil composition, etc. may be injected and, if desired, this may be followed by injection of water.
