Abstract
Applications of NMR imaging to examine the fluid distribution of steam foam flooding as a function of concentration and volume of surfactant solution, and residual oil saturation are described, The features exa mined include sweep efficiency, oil recovery, resistance factor, appar ent viscosity, steam quality, and foam stability. The results illustra te that the injection procedure and residual oil saturation have a sig nificant influence on steam foam flooding. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Inc.
