Dispersion-based sweep control

Simulators and Core Floods for Dispersion-Based Sweep Control... 

More field tests will be needed, especially to incorporate research advances in such areas as materials design phase behavior and dispersion morphology mechanisms of dispersion formation, flow, and breakdown and simulation of dispersion-based sweep control. 

Mast, in a pioneering 1972 paper, reported visual observations of foam flow in etched glass micromodels (37 ) His observations showed that some of the conflicting claims about the properties of foam flow in porous media were probably due simply to the dominance of different mechanisms under the various conditions employed by the separate researchers (37). Mast observed most of the various mechanisms of dispersion formation, flow, and breakdown that are now believed to control the sweep control properties of surfactant-based mobility control (37,39-41).
