On increase of reservoir oil recovery using new foam system
A.M. GasymlyA new foam system has been developed based on industrial wastes of licorice crop processing. Conducted experimental studies justified its efficiency in displacement of oil from reservoir stagnant zones. Action mechanism of the new foam system consists of the reduction of surface tension on oil-foam contour, improvement of wettability of rock mineral surface, as well as the increase of oil washing-out ability.
