Comprehensive Review of Foam Application during Foam Assisted Water Alternating Gas (FAWAG) Method

In the last few decades, much focus has been placed on enhancing oil recovery from existing fields. This is accomplished by the study and application of various methods. As for recent cases, the Study of fluid mobility control and sweep efficiency in gas injection process as well as Water Alternatin...
