Since the rock surface of clastic reservoirs is negatively charged,anionic surfactants should be preferred as the foamers for gas injection.Sodium alpha olefin sulfonate(AOS)is a commonly used anionic foamer,but has poor solubility in high-salinity water.AOS and sodium alkyl diphenyl ether disulfonate(B2)were compounded to form a foamer AOS51(m(AOS)∶m(B2)=5∶1),which has good solubility in simulated formation water with a salinity of 1.12×105 mg/L.At temperature of 110 ℃ and pressure of 30 MPa,AOS51 has a foaming rate comparable to and a foam stability slightly inferior to S23,the best-performing hydroxysulfobetaine foamer under high salinity conditions.The results of static adsorption experiments show that in the mass fraction range of 0.05%—1.0%,AOS51 has the adsorption amount lower than 0.30 mg/g,and there is little difference in the adsorption of AOS51 and S23 at mass fractions lower than 0.20%.However,S23 has significantly higher adsorption amount than AOS51 when the foamer's mass fraction is greater than 0.20%.The results of core flow experiments show that the resistance factors of AOS51 with mass fractions of 0.10%and 0.20%are greater than 65,75 and 125,270 for the formation of foam in cores with gas-measured permeabilities of 80 mD and 180 mD,respectively,and the selective mobility reduction characteristics are also shown;under the same conditions,the mobility control ability of AOS51 is better than that of S23.
