BEHAVIOUR OF FOAM ON OIL PRODUCTIVITY DURING FAWAG PROCESS

In the field of the petroleum engineering, economic has played more roles whereby many methods used to ultimately squeeze oil from the reservoir. FA WAG is one of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) technique which can increase oil recovery at 30, 60% by mobility control to improve sweep efficiency.Foami...
