Polysaccharide-stabilized oil-laden foam for enhancing oil recovery

Understanding the influence of crude oil on foam stability is critical to investigations of improved foam-EOR process. With enough physical actions, the oil phase can pour into and be trapped in the aqueous network, enfolding the gas bubbles with a honeycombed structure, which forms an extraordinary ternary system also known as oil-laden foam (see Fig.1). The goal of this study is to investigate the synergistic effects of using a blend of...
