Particle and fluid flow is a general problem existing in a series of engineering activities
during oil and gas development. Many efforts have been made to investigate the migration …

Clay is one of the most important mineral components in geological formations, and it is
widely used in many industrial applications. One clay property, which is of key importance in …

Permeability reduction and formation damage in porous media caused by fines (defined as
unconfined solid particles present in the pore spaces) migration is one of the major reasons …

Hydraulic fracturing of unconventional hydrocarbon resources involves the sequential
injection of a high-pressure, particle-laden fluid with varying pH's to make commercial …

Understanding the rock/fluid interaction is key to the success of any enhanced oil recovery
(EOR) method. However, EOR methods are significantly affected when the reservoir …

Cryogenic nitrogen fracturing can provide a new insight into the stimulation of deep shale
gas reservoirs. In order to investigate the physical and mechanical behaviors of high …

The Mancos shale core sample investigated in the present research has been extracted
from the late Cretaceous (upper cretaceous) geologic formation of USA. Shale gas is usually …

Eagle Ford shale formations have great hydrocarbon potential to minimise the supply and
demand problems of the overgrowing population. Whereas, due to reduced permeability …

Dynamic fracture width prediction is of great importance to the control of lost circulation,
which often leads to safety, environmental and economic issues and results in severe …

In this paper, the Lower Silurian Longmaxi shale samples and the backflow fracturing fluid in
the Changning Block of the Sichuan Basin were selected to investigate the damage …
