Probing the Effect of Wettability on Transport Behavior of Foam for Enhanced Oil Recovery in a Carbonate Reservoir

Abstract: Foam for enhanced oil recovery in carbonate reservoirs is generally challenging because the oil-wet formation is not favorable for generating and stabilizing the lamellae. With an alkyl-polyglucoside surfactant, a series of foam core flooding experiments both in the absence and in the presence of crude oil were performed on Estaillades limestone, a dual porosity and heterogeneous carbonate presenting reasonable similarities with the reservoir formation. The effects of wettability, surfactant concentration, and… Show more

“…Wide applications of foams in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques which can be applied as the blocking agent especially for high permeable pores to conduct the more feasible sweep efficiency for oil in low permeable pores is one of the main features of implementation of this chemical agent. Foams injection is one of the most appropriate chemical enhanced oil recovery methods especially in tight oil reservoirs 1 3 . Hu et al (2020) experimentally investigated the coupling effects of foams and various saline brines on the enhanced oil recovery factor.…”
