摘      要：Miscible carbon dioxide(CO_(2))flooding is a well-established and promising enhanced oil recovery(EOR)technique whereby residual oil is recovered by mixing with injected CO_(2)***,CO_(2),being very light and less viscous than reservoir crude oil,results in inefficient sweep *** research is ongoing to improve CO_(2)mobility control such as the development and generation of CO_(2)/water *** long-term stability of foam during the period of flooding is a known issue and must be considered during the design stage of any CO_(2)foam flooding *** foam stability can be improved by adding surfactants as stabilizers,but surfactants generated foams have generally a shorter life because of an unstable ***,surfactants are prone to higher retention and chemical degradation in the porous media,particularly under harsh reservoir *** has shown that nanoparticles(NPs)can act as an excellent stabilizing agent for CO_(2)/water foams owing to their surface chemistry and high adsorption *** foams generated using NPs are more stable and provide better mobility control compared to surfactant-stabilized *** limitation of using NPs as foam stabilizers is their colloidal stability which limits the use of low-cost *** surfactants and NPs for CO_(2)foam stabilization is a novel approach and has gained interest among researchers in recent *** improve the dispersion of NPs in the aqueous phase and minimize particle *** on the other hand create a stable barrier at the CO_(2)/water interface with the help of surfactants,thus generating highly stable and viscous *** paper presents a comprehensive review of the basic principles and applications of stabilized CO_(2)foams.A brief overview of CO_(2)foam flooding is discussed first,followed by a review of standalone surfactant-stabilized and NPs-stabilized CO_(2)/water *** application of hybrid surfactant-NPs stabilized CO
