Evaluation and Optimization Study on a Hybrid EOR Technique Named as Chemical-Alternating-Foam Floods

This work presents a novel Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) method called Chemical-Alternating-Foam (CAF) floods in order to overcome the drawbacks of the conventional foam flooding such as insufficient amount of in-situ foams, severe foam collapse and surfactant retention. The first part of this researc...
