Abstract

Fractured carbonate reservoirs are known for its complexity, this has big impact on production especially when EOR methods are used. Foam is known for its potential to improve recovery by diverting the flow to the poorly swept regions. In order to capture the uncertainties associated with foam EOR in fractured carbonates, multiple simulations of different geological scenarios must be tested.
