... Abstract This experimental study was designed to provide a detailed understanding of the blocking mechanism of heavy oil-in-water emulsions injected into a porous medium. The process in mind is one where a created emulsion will break near the well bore or at some pre-determined distance from...

...; however there is a lack of information available on gel performance in carbonate porous media. The main objective of this study is to verify the presence and extent of DPR effect when placing gels in carbonate porous medium. High molecular weight polyacrylamide and two crosslinkers, chromium(III)-acetate...

These results indicated the presence of DPR effect during both multiphase flow and subsequent alternative...

In order to extend the length of the plugs, several anionic surfactants were tested as pre-flush solutions for conditioning the surface of the sand...

The model considers the Navier Stokes equation in the fracture (channel flow) while using Brinkman equation for the porous medium. Unlike...
