Problems solved by technology

However, the percolation and migration of foam systems in porous media is a very complicated process.
Although there are literatures related to the seepage process of foam in porous media, for example, the physical simulation of rock displacement can simulate the pressure and flow characteristics of flowing foam in porous media under high pressure, but the foam structure in the process of foam migration inside the rock formation is invisible. However, the microscopic etching model cannot accurately reflect the characteristics of porous media in real rock formations
In order to study the change of the foam migration law more comprehensively, it is necessary to further study the change of the shape and structure of the foam when it flows in the porous medium from the macroscopic aspect, but the experimental results of the current experimental research device are not ideal enough.

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an experimental device for visually studying the foam flooding system, in particular to an experimental device for visually studying the migration law of the foam flooding system in porous media, which is applied to the technical field of chemical flooding for researching tertiary oil recovery technology. Background technique [0002] With the continuous exploitation of oil, most of my country's onshore oil fields have entered the later stage of development, that is, the stage of high water cut. In order to improve oil recovery and increase recoverable reserves, domestic oil fields have generally carried out technical research on tertiary oil recovery, among which foam flooding has gradually become another main EOR technology after polymer flooding technology in eastern China oilfields one. However, the percolation and migration of foam systems in porous media is a very complicated process. Although there are literatures rela...
