- W4200068448 abstract "Abstract In heavy oil reservoirs operated by steam injection, foam has a double benefit. By improving the steam sweep efficiency within the reservoir, foam increases oil recovery while reducing the amount of injected steam. However, in the field, this technology is not always very effective due to the fact that it is difficult to find foaming agents that can withstand temperatures above 200°C. Moreover, the agents that form stable foams at such temperatures are often insoluble at ambient temperature, and therefore difficult to solubilize in the field. Thus, a compromise between good solubility in surface conditions and high temperature foaming performances in the reservoir has to be found. In this study, we show that it is possible to boost chemicals that form foam at very high temperature with an additive to greatly improve their solubility at ambient temperature while maintaining their high foaming performance at high temperature. Two foaming agents of increasing degree of hydrophobicity (H and HH) were initially selected for this study. The first one shows high foaming performances in porous media and in a high-pressure cell at temperatures comprised in between 150 and 220°C. The second one, more hydrophobic, is particularly performant at temperatures comprised in between 220°C and at least 280°C. Using a robotic platform, the temperature at which the foaming solution for agents H and HH needs to be heated to be solubilized, was evaluated with an accuracy of 5°C in four brines (varying salinity and hardness). We found that the temperature at which both agents become soluble is above 60°C, still too high for a field application. In the second part of the study, these hydrophobic molecules were coupled to a pre-selected additive. The resulting mixtures were again qualified in terms of solubility and foaming performances. We show that by coupling these hydrophobic agents with an additive, we are able to maintain their excellent foaming performances while decreasing their solubilisation temperature down to room temperature. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that very high temperature foam stability assessment up to 280°C is combined to solubility measurements to design performant foaming solutions that will be easy to handle in the field for steam foam applications. Interestingly, we show that the hydrophobicity of agents that is required for high temperature foam generation can be balanced by a more hydrophilic agent without reducing their foaming performances." @default.
