Experimental and Modeling Investigating of Foam Flow Behavior Stabilized by Nanoparticles in Porous Media, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Ghazanfari, Mohammad Hossein (Supervisor)
Abstract
Gas injection as an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method usually suffers from low recovery efficiency. The low viscosity and density of gas as well as reservoir heterogeneity are the main reasons of early breakthrough and override of gas in oil reservoirs. To mitigate the poor sweep efficiency of gas injection, surfactants can be co-injected or injected in an alternating manner with gas to form foam within the reservoir rock. The foam formation can reduce the mobility of the injection fluids in porous media. A significant challenge of foam injection is the stability of the foam in formations and the foam liquid drainage rate is one of the key factors which characterize or show the efficiency...
