Enhanced Oil Recovery and CO2 Flooding/Sequestration in Carbonates

Investigation of Chemical-Foam Design as a Novel Approach toward Immiscible Foam Flooding for Enhanced Oil Recovery

Strong foam can be generated in porous media containing oil, resulting in incremental oil recovery; however, oil recovery factor is restricted. A large fraction of oil recovered by foam flooding forms an oil-in-water emulsion, so that costly methods may need to be used to separate the oil. Moreover, strong foam could create a large pressure gradient, which may cause fractures in the reservoir. ...

Synthesis Techniques for Polymers Applied to Enhanced Oil Recovery

The use of water soluble polymers for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) provides an additional chance to extract between 5 to 30% of total oil in place from drilled and mature reservoirs [1]. A big number of patents, mainly from multinational companies, remark the importance of polymers for EOR [2]. The role of the polymer in the aqueous solution is to increase the viscosity of the displacement solut...
