A comparison of foam stability at varying salinities and surfactant concentrations using bulk foam tests and sandpack flooding

Abstract Two conventional approaches for foam screening are core/sandpack flooding and bulk foam stability tests. The former is more accurate, but requires expensive equipment and long test duration. For initial screening, the faster and cost-effective bulk foam stability tests are used to narrow do...
