Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Methods and materials for foam production in enhanced oil recovery operations are described herein. More specifically, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to foaming agents, gas mobility control agents for use in porous media, compositions comprising such agents, methods for using such agents, methods for generating foams, and systems for enhanced oil recovery. In an embodiment, a method for recovery of oil from a porous rock formation is provided. The method includes contacting a foaming fluid and a surfactant solution described herein with the porous rock formation, and generating a foam comprising the foaming fluid and the surfactant solution. The method further includes mobilizing oil from the porous rock formation by contacting the porous rock formation with the foam; and collecting at least a portion of the mobilized oil.
