Article Synopsis
- Oily foam stability in CO injection for heavy oil recovery faces challenges that limit its widespread use, but research suggests CO-soluble surfactants may help improve this process.
- Stability tests were conducted with varying concentrations of the surfactant AOT, which significantly reduced interfacial tension and improved foam characteristics, indicating its potential effectiveness.
- Findings show that increasing AOT concentration leads to smaller bubble sizes and more bubbles within the foam, which slows bubble coalescence; this could ultimately enhance the efficiency of heavy oil recovery methods.
