Abstract

See full text

An improvement to a steam foam enhanced oil recovery process, whereby the time between injection of a surfactant and the resulting increase in steam injection pressure is reduced by initially injecting a rapidly-foaming surfactant, such as an internal olefin sulfonate, a vinylidene olefin sulfonate, or secondary alkane sulfonate, and subsequently injecting a typical steam foam surfactant that forms foam less rapidly.
