UNDERSTANDING AQUEOUS FOAM WITH NOVEL CO2-SOLUBLE SURFACTANTS FOR CONTROLLING CO2 VERTICAL SWEEP IN SANDSTONE RESERVOIRS

Understanding aqueous foam with novel CO2-soluble surfactants for controlling CO2 vertical sweep in sandstone reservoirs

Abstract The ability of a novel nonionic CO2-soluble surfactant to propagate foam in porous media was compared with that of a conventional anionic surfactant (aqueous soluble only) through core floods with Berea sandstone cores.Both simultaneous and alternating injections have been tested.The novel foam outperforms the conventional one with respect

Numerical Simulation of Tectonic Stress State Considering The Multiscale Heterogeneity of Geological Structures

The development and Knives utilization of deep underground is known to cause induced seismicity that could inflict devastating damage and pose a serious risk for safety and production.Notwithstanding the effort made in the past, a difficulty still lies in estimating the risk for induced seismicity especially taking place in geological structures.To
