Characterization of novel nanoparticle-stabilized foam using the local equilibrium (LE) implicit texture model for EOR and CO2 storage

The project focuses on using novel method to maximize oil recovery. It is carried out through both experiment study in core scale and simulation research in field scale. The new knowledge that will be accrued will be the culmination of a truly collaborative approach. First and foremost, Canada and Newfoundland and Labrador will gain immensely from recovering additional oil from its offshore east coast reserves. Additionally, this method will evaluate the potentials to help trap anthropogenic CO2 in the subsurface.
