FLY ASH NANOPARTICLES ASSITED FOAM INJECTION WATER ALTERNATING GAS FOR ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY

The success of foam injection as a displacing fluid in the porous media mainly depends on the stability of the foam. However, foam stability tends to decrease once exposed to crude oil and reservoir conditions. In the last few decades, research on nanoparticles as a foam stabilizer has shown favoura...
