Foam stability in the presence of oil: Effect of surfactant concentration and oil type
TL;DR: In this paper, a study of foamability and foam stability in the absence and in the presence of alkane-type oils for various surfactants was conducted, and the results for foam stability were discussed in terms of the classical entering/spreading coefficient, oil solubilization effect and stability of pseudoemulsion film.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation of Immiscible and Miscible Foam for Enhancing Oil Recovery
TL;DR: In this article, the flow of CO2 and N2 foam in natural sandstone cores containing oil with the aid of X-ray computed tomography was studied using a 3D model.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, a laboratory study of foams intended to improve immiscible gas flooding in oil production is presented, which is relevant for both continuous and water alternating gas injection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative Study of CO2 and N2 Foams in Porous Media at Low and High Pressure−Temperatures
TL;DR: In this article, the behavior of CO2 and N2 foams in granular porous media using X-ray computed tomography was investigated and it was found that CO2 injection following a slug of surfactant can considerably reduce its mobility and promote higher liquid recovery at the experimental conditions investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical simulation of density-driven natural convection in porous media with application for CO2 injection projects
TL;DR: In this paper, the mass transfer of CO2 injected into a homogenous (sub-surface) porous formation saturated with a liquid was investigated numerically using mass and momentum conservation laws and diffusion of CO 2 into the liquid.
