Laboratory Evaluation on Foaming Agent for High-Temperature and High-Salinity Reservoir

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to further enhance oil recovery (EOR) of the high temperature and high salt oil fields by foam flooding, one foaming agent was screened by airflow method. The influence of oil-water and pressure on foamability and stability were evaluated,and oil displacement experiment was also conducted. The results show that CS-1 foaming agent has better foamability and stability than the others under the reservoir conditions (Temperature 110 °C, Salinity 11.52×104 mg/L, Ca2+&Mg2+ 7654 mg/L). The foam stability will be better as the pressure rise or be worse when it met the crude oil. Oil recovery was improved by 4.13% after waterflood and the total recovery is 60.75%.
