Fluid injection into sand may initiate fluid-driven fractures. The fluid-sand interaction patterns depend on the injection velocity, fluid viscosity, rheology and stress boundary conditions …
We numerically study mechanisms and conditions of fracture initiation in granular material induced by non-Newtonian polymer solutions. A coupling approach of computational fluid …
Polymers are often used for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and in-situ site remediation. Polymer injectivity is an essential indicator in the project economics. Reduced injectivity due …
Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) by polymer injection is increasingly common due to the long history of scientific advances. Additionally, significant advancements have been …
