Most of the oilfields are currently experiencing intermediate to late stages of oil recovery by waterflooding. Channels were created between the wells by water injection and its effect on the oil recovery is less. The use of water plugging profile control is required to control excessive water production from an oil reservoir.

However, its utilization is limited in a channeling reservoir due to early water and gas breakthrough. A novel starch graft copolymer (SGC) gel is proposed for treating the channels and assisting with the CO huff-n-puff process.

Accordingly, herein, a stable N foam is proposed to assist CO huff-n-puff process for enhanced oil recovery. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and polyacrylamide (HPAM) were used as the surfactant and stabilizer, respectively, and 0.
