Abstract

Foam thermal stability was studies at Temple University in collaboration with Oak Ridge National Lab (ORNL). The goal of this project is to explore thermally stable foams as hydrofracking fluid media for potential applications in enhanced geothermal system (EGS). Data generated from this project will allow researchers to explore foam as potential fracturing fluid. More than 800 data points on the half-life of foams are recorded in Excel files in the included archive resource (Half-life of Foams with Different Surfactants and Stabilizing Agents). The Excel file within each surfactant folder contains half-life data of the respective surfactant with different stabilizing agents, pressure, and temperature. The respective folders also contains Word files describing the details of the data included in the respective Excel sheet.

Experimental Images and Videos of Foam Stability (Half-life)

Dataset Thakor, Viren ; Ren, Fei ; Wang, Hong

The experimental data obtained in this project is the thermal stability data of various foams measured using the setup established at Temple University during this study. The setup is installed with a portable digital camera which can take images and videos of foam evolution at a given pressure and temperature condition. Consequently, the half-life data was recorded from the images/videos, which are used as a measure of the thermal stability for foams. Over the 3 years of this project, four different surfactants and five different stabilizing agents were studied. The surfactants are, Alfa Olefin Sulfonate (AOS), Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate (SDS),more »« less
Literature Data on Foam Fracturing Fluid

Dataset Thakor, Viren ; Ren, Fei ; Wang, Hong

At the beginning of this project, the Temple team spent significant effort to collect data relevant to foam fracturing. More than 40 articles/reports were found in the open literature that reported the properties of aqueous foams under various testing conditions. The foam properties included viscosity and stability in terms of half-life, while were influenced by the foam quality, shear rate, temperature, pressure, as well as surfactants and additives used in making the foam base solutions. As a result, more than 1100 data points were collected, which are included in a master worksheet named "Literature data on Foam Fracturing Fluid". Thesemore »« less

Dataset documenting reaction-induced changes to five fractured foamed wellbore cement cores during CO2 fluid flow

Dataset Gill, Magdalena ; Moore, Johnathan ; Spaulding, Richard ; ...

This dataset consists of reconstructed CT scans for four fractured foamed cement cores, generated in the lab using Portland Class H cement, and associated processed data. The cements were exposed to reactive brines, and CT scans were take at different time points through the experiment. The CT imaging allows for the tracking of dissolution-induced changes to fracture morphology, as well as alteration and dissolution in the cement matrix.
