Abstract
This article presents the chemical formulation and rheological properties of a novel self‐assembling biopolymer (SAP) system, which could be a useful alternative in polymer flooding for oil recovery, especially under harsh reservoir conditions of temperature, salinity, and hardness. The nonbonding associations of the side branches of xanthan gum with the surfactant: β‐cyclodextrin inclusion complexes in aqueous solution generate an improved viscoelastic SAP network system. This system exhibits superior mechanical and thermal stability, and also tolerance to elevated brine salinity and hardness due to the “interlocking effect.” Sandpack flood tests conducted at reservoir conditions (Pelican Lake reservoir, Alberta, Canada) demonstrate that the SAP system can produce considerably higher resistance factors than the baseline xanthan gum during flow in porous media, which indicates its effectiveness in controlling the mobility of the displacing fluid. Moreover, this system shows potential as in situ permeability modifier. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 55:523–532, 2015. © 2014 Society of Plastics Engineers

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
