    摘要: A method for increasing CO2 sequestration efficiency in depleted reservoirs by increasing injectivity is provided. This method includes the steps of introducing a surfactant solution into an upper portion of the reservoir through an injection well and introducing CO2 to a lower portion through another injection well such that the CO2 and surfactant solution migrate away from the wells and intimately intermingle to form CO2-based foam in situ. The surfactant solution and CO2 may also be introduced through the same injection well, where the surfactant solution is introduced to an upper portion of the reservoir and the CO2 is introduced into a lower portion. The pressure may be maintained at a value less than the fracture pressure of the reservoir utilizing a pressure relief well.

    摘要: Treatment fluids of the present disclosure may comprise an aqueous base fluid and a surfactant composition. The surfactant composition may comprise a sulfonate surfactant in an amount of from 0.01 wt. % to 2 wt. % based on the total weight of the treatment fluid composition, a plant-based oil in an amount of from 0.01 wt. % to 2 wt. % based on the total weight of the treatment fluid composition, and a zwitterionic co-surfactant in an amount of from 0.01 wt. % to 2 wt. % based on the total weight of the treatment fluid composition. The plant-based oil may comprise from 65 mol. % to 85 mol. % species comprising one or more gondoic acid moieties. Methods for recovering hydrocarbons from a subterranean formation with the treatment fluid are also disclosed.

    摘要: Foaming fluid composition and methods for enhanced oil recovery are provided with enhanced foaming properties. The foaming composition may include a surfactant and Allium sativum oil where Allium sativum oil may be included in an amount ranging from 20 to 75 vol % in respect to the total volume of the surfactant and the Allium sativum oil. Methods of enhancing recovery of oil from an oil containing formation are also provided. Methods may include injecting a foaming composition into the oil containing formation, where the foaming composition may include a surfactant and Allium sativum oil. Methods may also include the foaming composition that includes Allium sativum oil in an amount ranging from 20 to 75 vol % in respect to the total volume of the surfactant and the Allium sativum oil.
