Uninterrupted lift of gas, water, and fines in unconventional gas wells using foam-assisted artificial lift

Eco-efficient pickering foams: leveraging sugarcane waste-derived cellulose nanofibres

“…2–4 In the resources sector foams are particularly utilised under challenging conditions, such as high temperatures and elevated salt concentrations for oil and gas recovery. 5,6 Additionally, the mineral processing industry utilises foams in several separation techniques, including foam fractionation, ion flotation, and froth flotation. 7,8 These techniques rely on the creation of bubbles, which provide a large surface area (air–liquid interface) for separating different substances by adsorbing them to the air–liquid interfaces with the assistance of substances like foamers or collectors.…”
