| Abstract | A new and challenging technology of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is foam flooding. Foam can improve oil recovery by increasing sweep and displacement efficiency. Internal olefin sulfonate (IOS) with different carbon chain lengths, i.e. C15-18, C19-23 and C24-28, were employed to investigate their ability to enhance oil recovery in a sand pack flooding apparatus. Two flooding techniques, namely foam and surfactant flooding, were conducted to compare the oil removal efficiency. The condition was performed at atmospheric pressure and room temperature in the presence of brine condition. The results indicated that these three surfactants can additionally recovered more oil at 5-10 % of OOIP. Both foam and surfactant flooding techniques gave similar amount of additional oil; however, the surfactant flooding required higher quantities of the surfactant solution and gave slower oil breakthrough from the sand pack compared to the foam flooding. *uthaiporn.s@chula.ac.th |
