SUMMARY:

Petroleum corresponds to the main global energy matrix, so it is necessary to maintain production at levels capable of meeting the demand, which is estimated at 30% more by the year 2040 compared to 2010. Therefore, increasing the oil recovery factor of a reservoir is an essential goal in the oil sector and, in this sense, alternative and complementary methodologies have been developed to allow the extraction of reservoirs that are no longer considered economically viable, mature fields. The revitalization of these fields represents the extension of production life, besides offering significant opportunities for the expansion of world reserves. Thus, this work aims to apply two methods of advanced recovery simultaneously: thermal and chemical methods, in particular the injection of steam and surfactant, i.e., the injection of surfactant into the steam phase for the recovery of heavy oil from the Potiguar Basin. Furthermore, an analysis will be proposed regarding the injection banks of the surfactant and steam, in their different arrangements, through flow experiments in porous media. The technical and economic feasibility of the method can boost the revitalization of marginal fields, to ensure the extension of production and make these fields attractive again, stimulating local and regional development.
