Pickering emulsions, foams, bubbles, and marbles are dispersions of two immiscible liquids
or of a liquid and a gas stabilized by surface‐active colloidal particles. These systems can …

The area of oil foams although important industrially has received little academic attention
until the last decade. The early work using molecular surfactants for stabilisation was limited …

Abstract Alkali/surfactant/polymer (ASP) flooding process is proven to be vitally effective for
enhancing oil recovery (EOR) in the oil industry. However, foaming behavior is generated by …

Gas channeling easily occurs in CO 2 flooding, leading to lower oil production efficiency. CO
2 oil-based foam can effectively control gas channeling, so it is particularly important to study …

Methylsiloxanes have gained growing attention as emerging pollutants due to their toxicity to
organisms. As man-made chemicals with no natural source, most research to date has …

On the oil production also involves the production of water, gas and suspended solids,
which are separated from the oil on three-phase separators. However, the control strategies …

Overbalanced drilling is the most common drilling technique; nevertheless, it has several
disadvantages such as formation damage, mud losses, and stuck pipes; challenges that are …

The most common types of liquid foams are aqueous ones, and correspond to gas bubbles
dispersed in an aqueous liquid phase. Non-aqueous foams are also composed of gas …

The use of aqueous energized fluids and foams for hydraulic fracturing reduces water
consumption and formation damage, while improving proppant transport and placement …

Oil foams that are based on oleogels are stabilized by the presence of crystalline particles at
the air bubble surface and in bulk. The size of crystalline particles is an important parameter …
