..., it was apparent that critical velocity or kaolinite fines migration was another contributing factor to the formation damage. It was proposed at the end of this phase that critical velocity testing be conducted to further understand and target the problem. As all previous reservoir core plug material had been...

..., 1960 ). When a clay particle, such as kaolinite, is in the vicinity of a sand particle, they exhibit a net electrostatic attraction, despite the similar sign of their surface charges. This attraction is due to the Van der Waals component of electrostatic interaction which is solely attractive...
