During the fracturing operations for oils and gases, not only the oil and gas reservoirs, but also the nearby civil aquifers are often polluted by the invasion of fracturing fluid filtrates. In this study, we investigated the potential of silica nanoparticles as a high-performance filtrate reducer for a foam fluid in a porous media. First, the three factors affecting filtration reduction using nanoparticles, i.e., surface rheology, foam slipping, and foam stability, were described. Then, the foam filtration through a porous media in the core was measured using a dynamic fluid-loss device, and the effects of foam quality, pressure drop, and core permeability on the performance of the filtrate reducer were evaluated. The difficulty of bubbles flowing from a throat to a pore in a porous media was described by resistance gradient coefficient Cf, which is a combination of surface tension and viscoelastic modulus and increases by adding nanoparticles. Nanoparticles improve the roughness of the SiO2/sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate foam film surface, thus increasing the slipping resistance Fslip when foams flowon the wall of a throat in a porous media. For the foams in a porous media, the diffusion of bubbles decreased in the presence of nanoparticles, and the growth rate of gas bubble size also decreased, thus increasing the foam resistance to gas channeling. The results of core filtration tests indicate that the fluid-loss-control properties increased with foam quality ranging from 0 to 85%, and the negative effects of pressure drop and permeability increase to foam filtration were weakened by adding SiO2 nanoparticles. Thus, silica nanoparticles can be used as a high-performance filtrate reducer for a foam fluid in a porous media.
