Static and flow behaviors of supercritical CO2 foam stabilized with betaine surfactant for mobility control application

Aiming at improving the stability of Supercritical CO2 (SC-CO2) foam in high temperature and salinity reservoirs, a kind of betaine surfactant, Hexadecyl Hydroxypropyl Sulfo Betaine (HHSB), was screened to stabilize SC-CO2 foam. The properties of SC-CO2 foam were improved at elevated temperature and...
