HPHT Foam analyser LE/FOAM/EVAL

  • Foam injection 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 LE/FOAM/EVAL permits this; foams are produced in a high pressure visual cell continuously monitored by a high-resolution image capturing system. A dedicated Vinci 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

    Physical quantities calculated in Real Time:

    • Volume of the foam
    • Density of the foam
    • Bikerman index
    • Foam stability
    • Foam expansion coefficient
    • Foaming capability
