CO2/N2 Foam Fracturing Experimental Design and Optimization

CO2/N2 Foam Fracturing Experimental Design and Optimization

  Laboratory evaluation and design of CO2 and N2 fracturing applications with a comprehensive approach to investigate foam stability mechanisms using Raman spectroscopy, bulk foam stability using view cell, bulk and interfacial rheology, dynamic fluid loss experiments, and sand pack/fracture conductivity experiments for performance evaluation is offered as a service by TORP labs. Foam fracturing simulations are offered to predict performance and economic evaluation of the process as key elements of the field design.

  TORP is well equipped to conduct laboratory testing under reservoir conditions to screen different surfactants for foam generation.
