Abstract:CO2 foam fracturing in tight and shale reservoirs is a revolutionary technique for commercially viable production. Nevertheless, the screening of foaming agents used in CO2 foam fracturing fluid and the understanding of foaming mechanisms have not been sufficiently investigated. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive method for evaluating and selecting an optimized foaming agent for CO2 foam fracturing fluid integrating macroscopic and microscopic approaches through laboratory experiments and molecular dy… Show more
