The poor oil resistance of traditional foam system leads to gas channeling and low oil recovery in the process of foam flooding field trial. Aiming at this phenomenon, a new oil resistant and low tension foam system is proposed. Firstly, dodecyl hydroxypropyl phosphate betaine and fluorocarbon 101005 were selected as oil resistant foaming agents from several high performance foaming agents. Then, mixed the two agents with low tension betaine in certain proportions to form oil resistant and low tension foam system and compared oil displacement effect with single foam system, traditional foam system and single low tension system. Experimental results show that, foam performance of oil resistant and low tension foam system is the best in the presence of oil, and the foam flooding recovery reaches to 16.10%, which is much higher than that of single foam system, traditional foam system and single low tension system.

Foam Flooding

The liquid phase of foam systems plays a major role in improving the fluidity of oil, by reducing oil viscosity and stripping oil from rock surfaces during foam-flooding processes. Improving the oil displacement capacity of the foam’s liquid phase could lead to significant improvement in foam-flooding effects. Oil-liquid interfacial tension (IFT) is an important indicator of the oil displacement capacity of a liquid. In this study, several surfactants were used as foaming agents, and polymers were used as foam stabilizers. Foaming was induced using a Waring blender stirring method. Foam with an oil-liquid IFT of less than 10–3 mN/m was prepared after a series of adjustments to the liquid composition. This study verified the possibility of a foam system with both an ultra-low oil-liquid IFT and high foaming properties. Our results provide insight into a means of optimizing foam fluids for enhanced oil recovery.
