The conventional approach for an EOR process is to compare the reservoir properties with those of
successful worldwide projects. However, some proper cases may be neglected due to the lack of
reliable data. A combination of experimental design and reservoir simulation is an alternative
approach. In this work, the fractional factorial design suggests some numerical experiments which
their results are analyzed by statistical inference. After determination of the main effects and interactions, the most important parameters of polymer flooding are studied by ANOVA method and
Pareto and Tornado charts. Analysis of main effects shows that the oil viscosity, connate water
saturation and the horizontal permeability are the 3 deciding factors in oil production. The proposed methodology can help to select the good candidate reservoirs for polymer flooding
