Abstract

Disclosed is a method for preparing a Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC) based brine treatment solution for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR). The method involves preparing a high-salinity brine solution, extracting purified cellulose from a biomass, and modifying it through hydroxyethylation to obtain a water-soluble HEC. The water-soluble HEC is mixed with the brine solution to achieve an HEC-brine mixture that undergoes electrochemical reactions inside an electrocoagulation cell, which upon adding air-COmixture, provide a foamy HEC-brine solution including COabsorbed particles and brine salts. The foamy HEC-brine solution is then used for Enhanced Oil, altering reservoir rock wettability and improving oil displacement in a cost-effective, environmentally friendly, sustainable, and scalable manner.
