Gas Foam Flooding is an enhanced oil recovery process in which gas (widely CO2 and N2), is injected into the reservoir to recover the remainder oil left behind after the primary recovery. Oil recovery techniques

 Introduction:

Oil recovery process in general comprises of three stages.

  1. Primary recovery
  2. Secondary recovery
  3. Tertiary recovery
