摘要:
The invention relates to the use of at least one compound having the following formula: R-O-(-CH 2 -CH(-CH 3 )-0-) m -(-CH 2 -CH 2 -0-) n -H, where: R is a hydrocarbon group including 6 to 40 carbon atoms, m is a number from 0 to 20, and n is a number higher than 20, for inhibiting the phenomena of retention of anionic surfactants inside an oil reservoir, in particular inside a carbonated or argillaceous reservoir.
摘要:
A method for enhancing foam stability in foaming compositions for use in oilfield treatment application, including but not limited to use in mobility control for gas flooding. The method comprises the step of adding to a foaming composition a foam stabilizer of formula (I): wherein R1 is an alkylamido group or a branched or linear alkyl group; R2 and R3 are individually hydrogen or a methyl group; R4, R5 and R6 are individually hydrogen or a hydroxy group, with the proviso that at least one of R4, R5 or R6 is a hydroxyl group; wherein the alkyl group has greater than about 10 carbon atoms. Also disclosed are methods to enhance foam stability in an aqueous foaming composition.
摘要:
The invention relates to the use of at least one compound corresponding to the following formula: R-O-(-CH 2 -CH(-CH 3 )-O-) m -(-CH 2 -CH 2 -O-) n -H where: R is a hydrocarbon-based group comprising from 6 to 40 carbons; m ranges from 0 to 20; n, which is greater than m, ranges from 5 to 40, in order to inhibit the phenomena of retention of anionic surfactants within an oil-bearing reservoir, in particular within a carbonate or clay reservoir.
