Abstract:The use of foanfl to divert the steam from the swept zone has been extensively tested both in the laboratory and the field_ On the other hand, gels for plugging unproductive zones have mostly been considered for conventional or relatively low temperature applications. The objectives of this study were the development of strategies for improving the long-distance propagation of foam in the reservoir and evaluation of gels for near-well applications in thermal recovery operations.The major limitations to the gro… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
