Feasibility Study of a Steam-Foam Process Application in Kuwait

Abstract: Steam foam processes can improve the thermal efficiency and overall economics of steam-based oil recovery methods. Foam reduces steam mobility, thus mitigating steam channelling and energy loss, particularly in presence of thief zones. This paper describes an integrated EOR study to develop a steamfoam process for the Ratqa Lower Fars (RQLF) heavy oil reservoir in Kuwait with more focus on chemical selection, formulation design and reservoir simulation. A variety of foaming surfactants were exte… Show more
