Abstract

The CO₂ injection for mobilization of trapped oil in porous media is the most frequently applied method for EOR projects. Despite of the fact that the CO₂ injection can effectively produce the trapped oil, many problems such as viscous fingering, gravity override, high ratio of COP₂ to oil produced and early breakthrough are required to be resolved. These challenges can effectively be reduced by employing CO ₂ philic surfactants, which have exhibited more practical advantages over conventional surfactants. A study has been conducted to develop and evaluate CO₂ philic surfactants for the Co₂ mobility control for EOR applications.Interfecial tention (IFT) between CO₂ and surfactant solution was measured. In addition, coreflood experiments were conducted for mobility reduction factor (MRF) measurements. It was observed that the IFT appreciably decreased by using the surfactant in 1% concentration. MRF from coreflood results was found 2.3. This showed that as compared to conventional surfactants, newly developed CO₂ philic surfactants significantly reduce the mobility of the injected CO₂.
