CO2 mobility reduction using foam stabilized by CO2- and water-soluble surfactants
Føyen, Tore Lyngås; Alcorn, Zachary Paul; Fernø, Martin; Barrabino, Albert; Holt, Torleif (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Foam can reduce CO2 mobility to improve the sweep efficiency during injection into subsurface geological formations for CO2 storage and enhanced oil recovery. However, CO2 foams are thermodynamically unstable, so they must ... -
Core-scale sensitivity study of CO2 foam injection strategies for mobility control, enhanced oil recovery, and CO2 storage
Alcorn, Zachary Paul; Fredriksen, Sunniva; Sharma, Mohan; Føyen, Tore Lyngås; Wergeland, Connie; Fernø, Martin; Graue, Arne; Ersland, Geir (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)This paper presents experimental and numerical sensitivity studies to assist injection strategy design for an ongoing CO2 foam field pilot. The aim is to increase the success of in-situ CO2 foam generation and propagation ... -
Pore- and Core-Scale Insights of Nanoparticle-Stabilized Foam for CO2-Enhanced Oil Recovery
Alcorn, Zachary Paul; Føyen, Tore Lyngås; Gauteplass, Jarand; Benali, Benyamine; Soyke, Aleksandra; Fernø, Martin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Nanoparticles have gained attention for increasing the stability of surfactant-based foams during CO2 foam-enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and CO2 storage. However, the behavior and displacement mechanisms of hybrid ...
