Abstract:Surfactant-based foams have often
been proposed as mobility
control
agents in enhanced oil recovery (EOR); however, their lack of stability
under reservoir conditions has limited their field applications. This
study aims at enhancing the efficiency of foam EOR by using a nanofluid
composed of cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine amphoteric surfactant and
graphene quantum dot (GQD) nanoparticles extracted from Wyoming coal.
Macroscale foam flooding experiments were conducted under challenging
reservoir conditions (35… Show more
