Abstract

According to the research status of foam fluid, by referring to a mount of literatures, the characteristics and superiority of foam fluid for enhanced oil recovery were analyzed, the foam displacement of reservoir oil mechanism and dynamics characteristics of oil displacement process were summarized. Meanwhile, the applications of the foam fluid on acidification, fracturing and profile control and water plugging were also analyzed, which contains the research achievements about the model built, simulations, field tests and applications in oilfield. Combining with the success cases in oilfield, the paper could supply a research direction for enhanced oil recovery.
