• CO2 Foam Dynamics During CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery and CO2 Storage 

      Sæle, Aleksandra Magdalena (Doctoral thesis, 2023-10-09)
      Den stadig voksende befolkningen, økende velstand og økonomisk vekst fører til økende etterspørsel etter energi. Forbrenning av fossile brensler står for 80% av den globale energi produksjonen, noe som gjør det til en ...
    • Pore-level Ostwald ripening of CO2 foams at reservoir pressure 

      Benali, Benyamine; Sæle, Aleksandra Magdalena; Liu, Na; Fernø, Martin; Alcorn, Zachary Paul (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      The success of foam to reduce CO2 mobility in CO2 enhanced oil recovery and CO2 storage operations depends on foam stability in the reservoir. Foams are thermodynamically unstable, and factors such as surfactant adsorption, ...
    • Unsteady-State CO2 Foam Generation and Propagation: Laboratory and Field Insights 

      Alcorn, Zachary Paul; Sæle, Aleksandra Magdalena; Karakas, Metin; Graue, Arne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-07)
      This work presents a multiscale experimental and numerical investigation of CO2 foam generation, strength, and propagation during alternating injection of surfactant solution and CO2 at reservoir conditions. Evaluations ...
    • Unsteady-state CO2 foam injection for increasing enhanced oil recovery and carbon storage potential 

      Sæle, Aleksandra Magdalena; Graue, Arne; Alcorn, Zachary Paul (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The efficiency of CO2 injection for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and carbon storage is limited by severe viscosity and density differences between CO2 and reservoir fluids and reservoir heterogeneity. In-situ generation of ...
