The dominant mechanism of foam propagation and residual oil mobilization in water-wet system was identified as lamellae division and emulsification of oil, respectively. There was inter-bubble trapping of oil and water, lamellae detaching and collapsing of SDS-foam in the presence of oil in water-wet system and in oil-wet system. The dominant mechanisms of nanoparticles�surfactant foam flow and residual oil mobilization in oil-wet system were the generation of pore spanning continuous gas foam. The identified mechanisms were independent of pore geometry. The SiO2-SDS and Al2O3-SDS foams propagate successfully in water-wet and oil-wet systems; foam coalescence was prevented during film stretching due to the adsorption and accumulation of the nanoparticles at the gas�liquid interface of the foam, which increased the films� interfacial viscoelasticity. © 2017 Taylor & Francis. publisher: Taylor and Francis Inc. date: 2018 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Yekeen, N. and Manan, M.A. and Idris, A.K. and Samin, A.M. and Risal, A.R.
