Experimental investigation of surfactant-stabilized foam stability in the presence of light oil

The foam plays an important role in EOR application, while crude oil properties significantly affect foam behavior. In this study we compare the performance of foam generated by two types of surfactant, which in the presence of two light oils. The foaming properties and foam stability, film thickness and emulsified oil effect were fully studied. The final results show that light oil has a positive impact on foam ability of sodium alpha-olefin...
