Nanoparticle-stabilized supercritical CO₂ foam for mobility control in CO₂ enhanced oil recovery

Foam has been used as a mobility control technique in CO₂ flooding to improve volumetric sweep efficiency. Stabilizing CO₂ foam with nanoparticle instead of surfactant has some notable advantages. Nanoparticle-stabilized foam is very stable because a large adsorption energy is required to bring nan...
