Foam injection is a promising enhanced-oil-recovery (EOR) technology that significantly improves the sweep efficiency of gas injection. Simulation of foam/oil displacement in reservoirs is an expensive process for conventional simulation because of the strongly nonlinear physi ...

New Capillary Number Definition for Micromodels
The Impact of Pore Microstructure
A new capillary number (N ca ) definition is proposed for 2-D etched micromodels. We derive th ...
Foam flow in porous media without oil shows two regimes depending on foam quality (gas fractional flow). Complexity and limited data on foam/oil interactions in porous media greatly restrict understanding of foam in contact with oil. Distinguishing which regimes are affected b ...
We present a CT coreflood study of foam flow with two representative oils: hexadecane C16 (benign to foam) and a mixture of 80 wt% C16 and 20 wt% oleic acid (OA) (very harmful to foam). The purpose is to understand the transient dynamics of foam, both gen ...
