Abstract

This paper researches on the characteristics of the foam system chosen for CO2 foam flooding in the low permeable oil fields. In view of the actual situation of the oilfield high temperature, high salinity and water injection difficulty, the selected agents must also meet the requirements of stability and foaming property. Through the specific half-life and foam volume under different temperature conditions, found: FP388, FP246 and FP275 three kinds of foaming agent have good foaming properties; the half-life of bubble down quickly as the temperature from 45 °C to 100 °C; the half-life of FP275 is the largest of the three when they at the same temperature; The difference of FP388 and FP275 stability decreases with temperature increasing; all of the three kinds of foam system can meet the needs of the refinery, and the property of the foam system of FP388 is the best among them through the comprehensive consideration.
