A new mathematical model and experimental validation on foamy-oil flow in developing heavy oil reservoirs
Abstract To model foamy-oil flow in the development of heavy oil reservoirs, three depletion experiments were conducted with foamy oil treated as a pseudo-single-phase flow. In this pseudo single phase, dispersed bubbles are viewed as a part of the oil, and the redefined effective permeability varie...
