Evaluating surfactants for use in downhole applications, especially surfactants with similar surface tension or interfacial tension values and wetting properties, may be achieved with a sensitive column test using a non-uniform particulate media therein. An exemplary method may include providing a column containing two types of particles that differ by at least one of: a mean particle diameter, a sphericity, and a chemical composition. Surfactant samples may be individually tested by passing the sample through the column followed by a displacement fluid, typically an oleaginous. The displacement rate and volume of the surfactant sample may be used to assess the surfactant's suitability for downhole applications.
评估用于井下应用的表面活性剂,尤其是表面张力或界面张力值和润湿性能相似的表面活性剂,可以通过使用其中的非均匀颗粒介质进行灵敏柱测试来实现。一种示例性方法可包括提供一个含有两种类型颗粒的柱,这两种类型的颗粒至少在以下方面存在差异:平均颗粒直径、球形度和化学成分。表面活性剂样品可单独进行测试,方法是让样品通过色谱柱,然后用置换液(通常是含油液体)进行置换。表面活性剂样品的置换率和体积可用于评估表面活性剂是否适合井下应用。
