... Abstract Dual-viscosity fluid is a fracturing fluid that has been recently introduced to cover a wide range of fracturing applications varying, from a non-delayed to delayed fluid system for treatments in low to moderate to high temperatures, respectively. Reducing the impact of the pressure...

... Abstract Carbonate reservoirs have been recognized as very heterogeneous formations due to complex depositional environments, which complicate application of Alkaline/ Surfactant/Polymer (ASP) process. The main objectives of this study are to (1) present progress of screening criteria...

... approaches to enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques in old and marginal fields. Nanoparticles have been developed for various applications in reservoir engineering and EOR fields. Using nanoparticles for EOR applications refers to their small size compared to the pore throat sizes; therefore, they could...

During the application of this technique, CT interventions are primarily considered in the event of contingencies, such as screenouts (sand cleanout) and plugs prematurely setting (plug millouts). Even though no completion operation is immune to contingencies and associated costs...

... type and size have been optimized through the years. Despite few applications of medium strength proppant (MSP) in the early 2000s, high strength proppant (HSP) has been selected as most adequate based on the formation least principal stress magnitude and rock hardness. Two different proppant sizes...
