Spring 2020
Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is a process where high permeability fractures are induced in low permeability reservoir rocks in order to create a more conductive pathway for oil production. Production from shale and other low permeability reservoirs is a complex multi-physics problem. The...

Displacement Mechanics and Stability of Foamy Oil during Secondary Recovery of Heavy Oil Using Methane and Air
DownloadFall 2019
Basilio Meza, Enoc Jeremias Teodoro
Heavy oil and extra-heavy oil (natural bitumen and oil sands) resources represent 70% of the global petroleum reserves and are mostly found in shallow reservoirs with thin pay zones formed by unconsolidated sands. Thermal recovery methods are recognized for being the most efficient; yet, these...

Displacement of Water by Gas in Propped Fractures: Effect of Fracture Fluid Surface Tension, Viscosity, Proppant Wettability and Gravity
DownloadFall 2013
Inefficient recovery of fracturing water used in multi-stage hydraulic fracturing operations is a growing industrial concern. Non-recovered water can be trapped in the tight rock matrix and/or in the complex fracture network. Trapped water can block the gas flow and damage the reservoir. This...
