Experimental study on nitrogen and nitrogen foam-assisted gravity drainage for enhancing oil recovery

Abstract Many factors will affect the result of nitrogen-assisted gravity drainage (NAGD). In this work, sandpack and 2-dimensional (2D) visual plate model were employed to investigate the influence factors of NAGD, such as gas cap volume, formation dip angle, and back pressure. Nitrogen foam was al...
