Abstract

Partially sulfonated polymers are disclosed. The partially sulfonated polymers may include a polymer chain with a plurality of monomeric units. The monomeric units may include sulfonated monomeric units associated with sulfonate moieties, and unsulfonated monomeric units that lack the sulfonate moieties. The unsulfonated monomeric units may include between about 5% to about 90% of the monomeric units of the polymer chain. The partially sulfonated polymers may be utilized in recovering hydrocarbons from a geological structure by injecting a composition that includes partially sulfonated polymers into the geological structure and collecting the composition after flow through the geological structure.
