Results indicated a carbon neutral oil production from CO2-foam injection, where 96% of the carbon atoms in the produced oil was stored (as CO2) in an ax-ante storage process.

Based on the enhanced oil recovery (EOR) survey in Oil and Gas Journal (2010), approximately 280,000 bbl of oil per day or 6% of US crude oil production was produced by carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) EOR. CO2-foam yields improved sweep efficiency in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) applications over that of polymers to avoid potential polymer-induced formation damage. In addition to carbon sequestration in underground formations, CO2 foam has low water content, which also reduces formation damage in water-sensitive formations and allows for fast cleanup.

A promising result is that some surfactants produce CO2 foams for which the mobility is less than proportional to the rock permeability, and this result implies that CO2 foams might be used to "smooth out" the uneven flow otherwise resulting from permeability heterogeneities in the reservoir.

Viscosity of CO2/water foam generated by ethoxylated coco and tallow have the potential to satisfy all the key requirements for CO2 foams in EOR. We have.

However, because the mobility of CO2 is high compared to that of oil, CO2 channeling and early breakthrough often occur in CO2 enhanced oil recovery ( EOR).
