Determination of The Best Foam Injection Strategy in Ensuring High Hydrocarbon Recovery

Foam injection is one of the available Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques in recovering the residual oil saturation after the application of the secondary recovery techniques. Foam injection makes use of the presence of the foam in the reservoir. In the case where gas is injected without the pre...
