What is Foam Injection?

Foam Injection is a method of Enhanced Oil Recovery, whereby "foam" are either injected or generated in the reservoir to improve the oil recovery. "Foam"s are very small bubbles of gas inside a liquid. 

Foam is as light as gas, but has higher viscosity. This lowers the mobility ratio of the injected phase and give rise to a more favorable mobility ratio. Foam can be injected with an existing gas injection setup.
