  • Enhancing rheological properties of foam using aloe-barbadensis gel
    Patent number: 11447687
    Abstract: A surfactant foam for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) gas injection that includes a surfactant and Aloe vera gel. The surfactant may be a methanol surface active agent foamer. The surfactant foam may be generated in-situ from an injected gas (such as air or nitrogen), water (such as seawater), a surfactant, and Aloe vera gel. A process for enhancing oil recovery in a hydrocarbon reservoir using the surfactant foam and for manufacturing the foam are also provided.
