description	This work evaluated foam stability and electrokinetic phenomena that occurs in a sand pack simulation model when undergoing a foam injection process. The method used was a Finite Element Method. To evaluate a wide range of possible foam conditions, Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate with three different surfactant concentration (7500, 10 000 and 12 500 ppm) was used, obtaining a range of output voltage of 0.42-0.74 mV. One of surfactant characteristic in this study is biosurfactant which is environmental friendly and were used in previous experimental and simulation work. The numerical simulation were performed using 2 Dimensional rectangle geometry setup with a 30.4 cm length and 3.4 cm diameter which acts as a sand pack model and applying multiphysics (computational fluid dynamics, chemical reaction engineering, microelectromechanicals, electrochemistry and electrodeposition module) to simulate the numerical model.
