Field experiment of improved steam drive with in-situ foaming. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5880214
This report discusses the design, execution, results, conclusions and recommendations of a field experiment of improved steam drive with in-situ foaming by the surfactant Suntech IV in the Kern River Field of California. The project background, goals and field work are described. Several standards and experimental analytical methods have been applied to define the reservoir and to monitor the progress of the field experiment. The analysis of the results indicates that Suntech IV surfactant improved heavy recovery by steam drive with in-situ foaming and could successfully and economically be employed on a leasewide basis. 12 references, 22 figures, 7 tables.
