Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Embodiments of the present disclosure include suspensions for use in enhanced oil recovery, and methods of using the suspensions for recovering oil. Suspensions of the present disclosure include a nonionic surfactant that can dissolve in supercritical carbon dioxide, and a metal salt having a concentration of 200 to 1 parts-per-million.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed: 1. A system, comprising: supercritical carbon dioxide flowing in piping; and a suspension injected into the supercritical carbon dioxide, the suspension having a nonionic surfactant and a metal salt at a concentration of 200 to 1 parts-per-million, where the suspension includes an acid formed with an oxidizing agent prior to the suspension being injected into the supercritical carbon dioxide. 2. The system of claim 1 , where the piping has an inner diameter of 2.5 cm to 16 cm. 3. The system of claim 2 , where the suspension is injected into the supercritical carbon dioxide at a concentration of 100 to 5000 parts-per-million, where the nonionic surfactant is completely soluble in the supercritical carbon dioxide. 4. The system of claim 1 , where the metal salt is selected from the group consisting of a carboxylate, a boron salt, a titanium salt, a metal carbonate, a metal chloride, a metal sulfate, a metal phosphate, a metal sulphonate, a metal phosphonate, a metal-cyanide salt, and combinations thereof.
