1 U N I V E R S I T Y O F B E R G E N Department of Physics and Technology Does foam work in fractured systems? Martin A. Fernø Dept. of Physics and Technology, University of Bergen, Norway Complex Fluid Flow in Porous Media Conference Oct 12-14, 2015 Bordeaux, France
2 Department of Physics and Technology Outline of Talk 1. Does foam generate in fractured reservoirs? 2. Does it matter?
3 Department of Physics and Technology What is foam? Foam is defined as a gas dispersion within a continuous liquid phase. The gas phase is discontinuous and gas bubbles are separated by thin liquid films, called lamellae, stabilized by surfactants at the gas/liquid interfaces (Falls et al., 1988; Hirasaki, 1989; Kovscek and Radke, 1994) Oil Surfactant Gas Hirasaki and Lawson, 1985 Rock
4 Department of Physics and Technology Type I What is fractured systems? No rock matrix storage capacity, fractures provide storage capacity and flow paths Type II Rock matrix provides some storage capacity, fractures provide flow paths Type III Rock matrix provides high storage capacity, fractures provide flow paths Type IV Rock matrix provides storage capacity and flow, fractures augment flow Allan and Sun, 2003 Warren and Root, 1963
5 Department of Physics and Technology Why is this important? Large remaining reserves in heterogeneous carbonate reservoirs. Many of these are heavily fractured Oil recovery low due to microscopic and macroscopic - low volumetric sweep efficiency Foam is a proven EOR technique in heterogeneous reservoirs limited usage in fractured reservoirs Will foam be a viable option for mobility control in a fractured reservoir?
6 Department of Physics and Technology Scientific questions investigated a. Can foam generate within the fracture network itself? b. What is the foam rheology in fractures? c. How does foam influence sweep efficiency? Approach d. Can foam be used for EOR (enhanced oil recovery)?
7 Department of Physics and Technology FRACTURE NETWORK Rough-walled fracture surface Surface tension equal to calcite
8 UoB Dept. of Physics and Technology Martin A. Fernø SPE Foam generation and gas fractional flow
9 UoB Dept. of Physics and Technology Martin A. Fernø SPE MRF vs flow rate
10 Department of Physics and Technology Observations (so far..) Foam is consistently generated in situ in rough-walled, calcite fracture networks during co-injections of surfactant solution and gas Gas mobility reduction factors varied from about 200 to more than 1000 consistent with observations of improved sweep. A shear-thinning behavior was observed during coinjection over a range of gas fractions consistent with the rheology of foam.

It is also shown that care should be taken when laboratory tests are used to predict field performance and also highlights the importance of including diffusion as a production mechanism in some fractured reservoirs.
