(author)Foam is utilized in enhanced oil recovery and CO<sub>2</sub> sequestration. Surfactant-alternating-gas (SAG) is a preferred approach for placing foam into reservoirs, due to it enhances gas injection and minimizes corrosion in facilities. Our previous studies with similar permeability cores show that during SAG injection, several banks occupy...journal article 2024

Li, K. (author), Wolf, K.H.A.A. (author), Rossen, W.R. (author)Foam is applied in enhanced oil recovery to improve the sweep of injected gas and increase oil recovery, by greatly reducing the mobility of gas. In the laboratory, X-ray computed tomography is commonly used to evaluate the performance of foam in core plugs. However, foam properties, such as bubble size and capillary pressure, are much more...journal article 2022

Li, K. (author), Wolf, K.H.A.A. (author), Rossen, W.R. (author)In enhanced oil recovery, foam can effectively mitigate conformance problems and maintain a stable displacement front, by trapping gas and reducing its relative permeability in situ. In this study, to understand gas trapping in fractures and how it affects foam behavior, we report foam experiments in a 1-m-long glass model fracture with a...journal article 2021

(author)Surfactant-alternating-gas (SAG) is a preferred method of foam injection, which is a promising means of enhanced oil recovery. Liquid injectivity in a SAG process is commonly problematic. Our previous studies suggest that the liquid injectivity can be better than expected due to the existence of a collapsed-foam region formed during the gas...journal article 2020

Li, K. (author), Wolf, K.H.A.A. (author), Rossen, W.R. (author)Gas-injection EOR processes have poor sweep efficiency due to conformance problems including channelling, gravity override and fingering. In naturally fractured reservoirs, sweep efficiency is further jeopardized, because gas breaks through fractures first, leaving most oil behind in the matrix. Strong foam can be created in fractures[1][2],...abstract 2020

Li, K. (author), Wolf, K.H.A.A. (author), Rossen, W.R. (author)Gas injection often suffers from the poor sweep efficiency because of conformance problems, including gravity override, viscous fingering and channelling, as gas has a lighter density and a lower viscosity compared to in-situ fluids. Foam, by encapsulating the gas into separate bubbles in surfactant-contained liquid thin films (lamella), can...abstract 2020

(author)Surfactant-alternating-gas (SAG) is a favored method of foam injection, which has been proved as an efficient way for enhancing oil recovery. However, foam flow is extremely complicated, and there are still unsolved problems for foam application. One is liquid injectivity.

Hussain, A.A.A. (author), Vincent-Bonnieu, S.Y.F. (author), Kamarul Bahrim, R. Z. (author), Pilus, R. M. (author), Rossen, W.R. (author)As foam is injected into an oil reservoir, the region near an injector can become oil-free due to the relatively high capillary number. Foam created in this region encounters oil further out in the reservoir. The impact of oil on foam in porous media is usually investigated by co-injecting surfactant, gas and oil, or by injecting pre...journal article 2020

Hussain, A.A.A. (author)Foam flooding can be applied in soil-remediation techniques or for improving oil recovery processes in petroleum reservoirs. There are models which aim to predict the behaviour of foam in presence of oil in bulk and in porous media, however these models are not very reliable. In this work we investigate different ways in which a specific crude...doctoral thesis 2019

Tang, J. (author), Vincent-Bonnieu, S.Y.F. (author), Rossen, W.R. (author)We present a CT coreflood study of foam flow with two representative oils: hexadecane C<sub>16</sub> (benign to foam) and a mixture of 80 wt% C<sub>16</sub> and 20 wt% oleic acid (OA) (very harmful to foam). The purpose is to understand the transient dynamics of foam, both generated in-situ and pre-generated, as a function of oil saturation...conference paper 2019

Salazar Castillo, R.O. (author), Ter Haar, Sterre F. (author), Ponners, Christopher G. (author), Bos, Martijn (author), Rossen, W.R. (author)Foam can improve sweep efficiency in gas-injection-enhanced oil recovery. Surfactant-alternating-gas (SAG) is a favored method of foam injection. Laboratory data indicate that foam can be non-Newtonian at low water fractional flow f<sub>w</sub>, and therefore during gas injection in a SAG process. We investigate the implications of this...journal article 2019

(author)Surfactant-alternating-gas (SAG) is a favored method of foam injection, in part because of excellent gas injectivity. However, liquid injectivity is usually very poor in SAG.

We numerically investigate the effect of surfactant partitioning between the aqueous phase and the gaseous phase on foam transport for subsurface applications when the surfactant is injected in the CO2 phase.

Janssen, M.T.G. (author), Pilus, Rashidah M. (author), Zitha, P.L.J. (author)A laboratory study of principal immiscible gas flooding schemes is reported. Very well-controlled experiments on continuous gas injection, water-alternating-gas (WAG) and alkaline–surfactant–foam (ASF) flooding were conducted. The merits of WAG and ASF compared to continuous gas injection were examined. The impact of ultra-low oil–water (o/w)...journal article 2019

(author)Dispersed and solubilized oil can impact bulk foam stability differently. Though aromatic components are more soluble in water than straight-chain aliphatic components, solubilized aromatics do not necessarily impact the stability of foam in bulk or porous media, whereas straight-chain aliphatic components can have a detrimental impact (Bergeron...journal article 2019

Boeije, C.S. (author), Rossen, W.R. (author)Foam is used in gas-injection EOR processes to reduce the mobility of gas, resulting in greater volumetric sweep. SAG (Surfactant Alternating Gas) is a preferred method of injection as it results in greater injectivity in the field, but designing a successful process requires knowledge of foaming performance at very high foam qualities (gas...journal article 2018
