Abstract:Nitrogen foam flooding has been widely used in fossil fuel reservoirs for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). However, from a microscopic perspective, the effects of microheterogeneity in various pore structures on both multiphase flow characteristics and EOR during foam flooding after water flooding have not yet been systematically investigated. Therefore, combining computed tomography scanning, casting thin section observations, and microelectronic photolithography, a visual micromodel with three permeability zones… 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.
