Numerical Simulation of Radial Non-Newtonian Foam Flow in a Reservoir

Non-Newtonian foam flow in a reservoir can be modeled numerically by discretization of the corresponding analytical formulas. The injection of foam is compared to the injection of water by comparing the injection pressures, which is represented as a dimensionless pressure rise at the injection well. The model first applies the forward-difference...

Influence of Transient Effects on Fitting Parameters to SAG Foam Core-Foods

Foam is a promising means of increasing sweep efficiency in enhanced oil recovery processes where gas is injected into a reservoir. However, the effectiveness of foam is hard to predict due to its complex behavior. Therefore accurate modeling is important to effectively predict field performance. This requires correct foam parameters in...
