In the experiments either CO2 or N2 gas is forced through natural porous media initially saturated with a surfactant solution, a process known as surfactant-alternating-gas or SAG. The CO2 was either under sub- or supercritical conditions, whereas N2 remained under subcritical conditions at all experimental conditions. We found that CO2 injection following a slug of surfactant can considerably reduce its mobility and promote higher liquid recovery at the experimental conditions investigated. Foaming of CO2 builds-up a lower pressure drop over the core at both low and high pressures than N2. Both gases require space to develop into foam. The space is longer for N2 (larger entrance effect) and increases with increasing gas velocity. Moreover, the ultimate liquid recovery by CO2 foam is always lower than by N2 foam. The possible mechanisms explaining the observed differences in foaming behavior of the two gases are discussed in detail.
