Use of Nanoparticles and Surfactants to Generate Foam for Mobility Control
ثبت نشده
چکیده
One of the major challenges in petroleum industry is producing residual oil from underground. One of the major techniques for enhancing oil recovery (EOR) is using gas injection. However, gas has poor volumetric sweep efficiency, this is attributed to its high mobility which considers to be higher compared with oil and water mobility. Several techniques are proposed and applied for reducing gas mobility; using surfactant to generate foam is one of these techniques.
