Evaluating the stability of colloidal gas aphrons in the presence of montmorillonite nanoparticles

To block rock pores in aphron drilling operation, colloidal gas aphrons (CGAs) stability is a key factor to minimize formation damage. Although the synergistic stabilization of aqueous foam by solid particles and surfactants has been extensively studied, there are few references for synergistic stabilization of CGAs. In this experimental study, stability of CGAs has been investigated in the presence of nanoparticles. CGAs dispersion were...
