Dataset Description
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". These data points are organized based on following parameters:
- Literature source, including authors and publication year
- Gaseous phase (e.g. CO2, N2)
- Liquid phase (e.g. tap water, DI water, salt water)
- Surfactants and their concentrations
- Additives
- Foam quality
- Pressure
- Temperature
- Viscosity
- Foam stability, which was characterized by its half-life: Half-life
Foam study data base with data analysis was completed and a webpage is designed hosted on public server at https://surfactant-dashboard.herokuapp.com
