Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The steam–foam process is an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method which improves the performance of a traditional steam drive using a foaming surfactant. In this study, the surfactant solution was coinjected with steam at a certain quality into a core holder filled with a sand pack. The core holder was kept inside an oven at 250 °C to mimic the near-wellbore temperature in a steam flood. By measuring the pressure drop along the core with and without the surfactant, the mobility reduction factor (MRF) of the generated foam was measured. Two different surfactants were used, and the effect of different parameters such as pressure, steam quality, and superficial gas velocity on the foam strength was studied. Some mechanisms have been suggested to explain the foam generation delay and the foam front retardation in the core. In the modeling section of this paper, the current STARS model for foam generation was studied and its shortcomings identified based on the experimental observations. A modified foam model has been proposed and used to simulate the core-flooding results.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
