CO 2 philic surfactants as foaming agent have the potential to overcome CO 2 mobility issues.A study has been conducted to synthesize and evaluates the CO 2 philic surfactants for the CO 2 mobility control.The synthesis process was optimized.The foam durability experiments in the presence and absence of the crude oil were conducted.The mobility reduction factor was found 2.93.In addition, 93.25% oil recovery was achieved.It was observed that the CO 2 /water IFT appreciably decreased from 30 mN/m to 5.21 mN/m by using the surfactant in 0.5 % concentration.Results showed that CO 2 philic surfactant significantly reduce the mobility of the injected CO 2 .
