Foam analyser system and trainers

Foam analyser system and trainers is an attractive EOR scheme in terms of cost, effectiveness, and environmental-friendliness. Foams mainly serve as mobility control or gas blocking agents. To optimize their effectiveness, the critical foam parameters should be studied at reservoir-representative conditions. The Foam analyser system and trainers permits this; foams are produced in a high pressure visual cell continuously monitored by a high-resolution image capturing system. A dedicated software then interprets the images and reports the following:

Physical Quantities Measured in Real Time:

• Gas flowrate
• Volume of the foam
• Volume of liquid in foam

• Volume of the foam
• Density of the foam
