CO2/N2 Foam Flooding Experimental Design and Optimization

CO2/N2 Foam Flooding Experimental Design and Optimization

  Laboratory evaluation and design of CO2 and N2 flooding applications with a comprehensive approach to investigate foam stability mechanisms using Raman spectroscopy, bulk foam stability using view cell, bulk and interfacial rheology, adsorption, dissolution, and incremental production from pore- to core- scale is offered as a service by TORP labs. Core- to reservoir-scale simulations are offered to predict performance and economic evaluation of the process as key elements of the field design.

  TORP is well equipped to conduct laboratory testing under reservoir conditions to screen different surfactants for foam generation. Other processes such as CO2 flooding, water alternating gas (WAG) and surfactant alternating gas (SAG) injection can also be investigated using this setup.

  • Foam flooding experiments using sequential or co- injection
