Abstract
Foam Flooding is a promising Enhanced Oil Recovery technique dedicated for maximizing oil recovery by altering the wettability in favorable conditions and more importantly to improve the mobility ratio. Also foam flooding significantly can improve the macroscopic sweep efficiency by lowering the gas mobility. Limited stability of conventional surfactants for foam generation is one of the reasons why foam is not being widely used as a common EOR technique. Some of the anticipated approaches for foam stabilization is the addition of polymers, so called polymer enhanced foam and nanoparticles. The oil recovery by foam flooding mainly depends on the stability of the foam.
At severe reservoir conditions, CO2 foam becomes more unstable due to water drainage and gas diffusion through the lamella
