| Popis: | Foam is used in CO2-enhanced oil recovery due to its potential high benefits in mitigating all three causes of CO2 poor sweep efficiency, as it provides a means to lower the effect of permeability heterogeneity, overcome viscous instability, and minimize the occurrence of gravity override. The conventional foaming surfactants are not suitable in contact with oil due to premature lamellae rupture, need for copious amounts of water to generate foam, surfactant loss due to adsorption on the rock or partitioning between water and oil, and less tolerance against salinity, pressure, and temperature. The surfactant blending and addition of CO2-philic functionalities in surfactant structure are suggested to mitigate the above problems, enhance foam stability, improve mobility control, and accelerate foam propagation. However, there is a lack of general guidelines on the evaluation of CO2-philic surfactant properties and applications and the surfactant structure–performance analysis. In the present work, tailor-ma... |
