Abstract
One of the main concerns in the application of foam for enhanced oil recovery is the influence of oil on foam stability. This paper reports a systematic laboratory study of foamability and foam stability in the absence and in the presence of alkane-type oils for various surfactants. Foam was generated by sparging nitrogen gas at a fixed flow rate through the surfactant solution. We first examined the foaming properties of selected commercial...
