This contribution introduces a new hybrid enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method which combines smart water-assisted foam (SWAF) flooding, known as the SWAF process. The concept of applying flooding in carbonate reservoirs is novel approach previously unexplored literature. synergy effect technique has potential to mitigate number limitations related individual (i.e., conventional water injection a...

wild plant germplasm possesses useful adaptive strategies. wild plant species, for example, are resistant to biotic and abiotic stress and can be used for reforestation, agriculture, and horticulture. we surveyed the potential of wild pear to resist flooding. we looked at survival, growth, biomass, and several physiological variables. the rootstocks of wild pear are candidates for planting in o...

Summary In this study, to investigate how gravity affects foam in open vertical fractures, we report experiments three 1-m-long, 15-cm-wide glass-model fractures. Each fracture has a smooth wall and roughened wall. Between the two walls is slit-like channel representing single geological fracture. Three model fractures (Models A, B, C) share same roughness have different hydraulic apertures of ...

The brass tubes with foam cores of AlSi7SiC3, AlSi7SiC3Fe1 and AlSi7SiC3Fe3 were produced as the crush-boxes with circle and square cross-section. Then axial compressive behavior and energy absorption capability of the foam-filled tubes were investigated during the quasi-static progressive plastic buckling. The uniaxial compressive stress–strain curves of the foam-filled brass tubes exhibited t...

milk-based espresso coffee is one of the most popular beverages. foam is an essential quality characteristic for this beverage. foam formation and stability is mainly related to the milk composition. in this study the influence of three different concentrations of xanthan gum (0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 g dm-3) and three different temperatures (50, 60 and 70 °c) on foam stability were examined and exper...

Foam has been used as an effective displacing fluid for gas mobility control in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and subsurface remediation. In this study, a series of core flooding experiments are performed on cores with wide permeability ranging from 3.3 to 2749 mD evaluate the impact foam quality performance. It is found that steady-state factor related non-linear, non-monotonic manner. A full ph...
