Abstract

Steam injection integrations with polymer or biopolymer and surfactant have gained significant interest in the field of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR). This technology aims to improve steam injection efficiency by reducing the surface tension between oil and water, increasing the viscosity of the injected liquid, and improving the sweeping efficiency of the injected liquid. In this review, recent developments in the field of steam injection with polymers, biopolymers, and surfactants are presented. This review discusses the mechanisms of integration of these materials and their effects on oil recovery. This review also reviewed the extent to which some factors, such as the type and concentration of agents used, and the heterogeneity of the reservoirs, affected the effectiveness of this technique. Overall, this review article provides valuable insight into the potential of integrating steam injection with polymer, biopolymer, and surfactant as an effective method for enhanced oil recovery from mature oil reservoirs.
