The novel enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technique combining the reduction of oil/water (o/w) interfacial tensions (IFT) to ultralow values and generation of a foam drive for mobility control …
A laboratory study of principal immiscible gas flooding schemes is reported. Very well- controlled experiments on continuous gas injection, water-alternating-gas (WAG) and …
Summary Alkaline/surfactant/foam (ASF) flooding is a novel enhanced–oil–recovery (EOR) process that increases oil recovery over waterflooding by combining foaming with a …
In Brazil, pre-salt carbonate reservoirs are largely responsible for the current increase in oil production. However, due to its peculiar characteristics, increasing oil recovery by water …
In the current research, an analytical method was proposed for the quantitative determination of surface tension of anionic surfactant solutions in the presence of …
Foams show poor stability in enhanced oil recovery applications and stimulation processes in oil-well operations of oil fields. This paper presents a laboratory study to investigate the …
ABSTRACT Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery (CEOR) methods can increase the oil recovery of a reservoir to more than 60% of the volumes originally in-situ. Typical oil …
