Steam Foam Additives for Thermal EOR

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. These additives can: 

Increase oil production rate

As well as total oil recovery over time.

Decrease steam-to-oil ratios
Recover more oil

While significantly reducing water and energy use. 

Degradation resistance

At high temperatures. Additionally, ability to foam at high temperatures and pressures. 

Provide minimum surfactant absorption in the reservoir formation
Can be winterized 

For use in temperature as low as -40°C.

ELEVATE™ Additives for unconventional foam EOR 

Dow and MD America Energy partnered to conduct a Hydrocarbon Foam Huff-n-Puff EOR trial in an unconventional reservoir. ELEVATE™ foam additives were used to improve conformance at the well. Oil production doubled, showing a clear economic driver in addition to reduced carbon emissions.
