Foam Flooding Performances on the Oil Recovery Enhancement

Regarding the enormous demands for hydrocarbon fossil fuels in numerous industries which enforced petroleum industries to find novelistic solutions to enhance the oil recovery factor. Due to the reduction of oil volume by the natural depletion mechanisms after the passing of production time, enhanced oil recovery methods are being widely reported in literature and numerous experimental evaluations are operated to address this issue. The objective of this extensive study is to compare the three injectivity scenarios with the natural depletion drive and how to optimize the efficiency of each method during the time period of 3000 days. Consequently, according to the simulation results, foam injection and water injection have played the substantial role in the oil recovery enhancement; in respect of the way, foam injection by the cumulative oil productivity of 88976 barrels per day is the maximum productivity.
