Mobility control is needed in steam injection to improve the sweep efficiency of the steam by reducing gravity override and channelling. One of the projects of SUPRI is aimed at solving this problem. The project started in 1976 by a literature search on the applicability of different mobility control agents to the steam injection process. This work showed that foam can be generated in situ and can be used to improve gas drives. A laboratory study was initiated and focused toward 2 main objectives: temperature stability of foaming agents (surfactants), and flow properties of foam in porous media.
