Steam Foam Additives for Thermal EOR

Steam foam thermal additives for high-temperature EOR operations

Dow ELEVATE™ Steam Foam Additives have been specifically designed for high temperatures, such as those found in reservoirs being produced with steam to improve thermal enhanced oil recovery.

• Increase oil production rate and total oil recovery over time
• Decrease steam-to-oil ratios
• Recover more oil while significantly reducing water and energy use
• Resist degradation at high temperature
• Minimum absorption of surfactant in the reservoir formation
• Ability to foam at high temperatures and pressures
• Can be winterized for use in temperatures as low as -40 °C

Dow has an established process to support development of customer-tailored solutions from initial laboratory testing all the way through final field implementation.
