The effects of velocity and gas type on foam flow through porous media have yet to be completely elucidated. Pressure drop and capillary pressure measurements were made at ambient conditions during a series of foam quality scan experiments in a homogenous sandpack while foam texture was simultaneously visualized. New insights into foam-flow behavior in porous media were discovered. Previously accepted “limiting” capillary pressure theory is challenged by the findings in this work, and the “limiting” terminology is replaced with the word “plateau” to reflect these novel observations.

Transition foam quality was found to depend mostly on liquid velocity rather than gas velocity and is physically linked to foam type (continuous vs. discontinuous) and texture (fine vs. coarse). Distinct rheological behaviors also arose in the low- and high-quality foam regimes as a function of velocity. Foam flow was found to be strongly shear thinning in the low-quality regime where foam texture was fine and discontinuous. In the high-quality regime, the rheology was weakly shear thinning to Newtonian for coarsely textured foam and continuous-gas flow respectively. When all other variables were held constant, at ambient conditions, CO2foam was found to be weaker with also lower capillary pressures than N2foam and the differences in gas solubility is a likely explanation.
