... this process is coreflooding, which mimics the process of fracturing fluid invasion, flowback, and hydrocarbon recovery from shale formations. However, coreflooding is time consuming, expensive, and unable to provide insights to the underlying physics at the pore scale level in most instances. Rock-on-a Chip...

... Abstract The Sulige tight gas reservoir is characterized by poor physical properties, tiny pore throats, low fracturing coefficients, high contents of clay minerals and high sensitivity to damages induced by external fluids. To minimize the damages of reservoir induced by fracturing fluids...

... of proppant in the later stages. Fracturing fluids required to achieve these objectives often include slickwater followed by a higher viscosity fluid for the later stages, which requires the use of two or more fluid types to be used during the job.
