The efficiency of oil processes depends on the product of volumetric sweep and microscopic sweep. In oil recovery by steam injection the microscopic sweep is generally good; however, obtaining a good volumetric sweep can be challenging. This is caused by low density and viscosity of the injected steam combined with the reservoir heterogeneity, in particular existence of thief zone. Consequently, the steam utilization factor measured by steam-to-oil ratio (SOR, kg steam/bbl of oil) for many steam-flooding projects becomes poor. All these issues can be addressed by a successful application of steam foam technology. In steam foam applications, steam (plus a non-condensing gas) is injected simulateneously with a surfactant solution. Under the favorable injection conditions a foam is formed inside the reservoir leading to significant reduction of steam mobility and can eventually improve sweep efficiency. In the literature many successful steam foam pilots have been reported. However, most of these applications are at relatively shallow reservoirs with low pressures and thus low temperatures. In our paper we investigate if steam foam can also be effectively used for applications at high steam temperatures, significantly exceeding 200°C. To test the viability of steam foam technology at high temperatures, we have tested the stability of multiple surfactants at reservoir conditions. For those surfactants that showed good stability, core flood tests have been carried out to test the ability to form foam and to assess the resulting foam strength. Steam foam tests have also been carried out at temperature up to 240°C.@en
