    Abstract:

    There are many researches about the influence of the foam on gas-liquid relative permeability, but the influence of the temperature on foam relative permeability curve needs to be further studied. The curve reflecting the relationship between foam block pressure and gas-liquid flow rate ratio is measured at different temperature in this paper. So, the impact of the gas-liquid flow ratio and temperature on the block pressure is analyzed. The gas-liquid relative permeability curves both with the and without effects of foam are measured by using steady-state method in this paper. On this base, the flow rules of foam at different temperature are also characterized. The results indicate that the higher the experimental temperature, the better the sealing performance. And, both the foam block pressure and the blocking performance of foam can attain the highest degree in the range of gas-liquid flow ratio between 2 and 4. The foam has no effect on the relationship between the liquid relative permeability and the water saturation. The gas relative permeability,however, has a sharp decline under the action of foam. With the experimental temperature, the critical water saturation became higher with the increase of temperature and the moderate values of the gas relative permeability became lower with the increase of temperature.
