Using Transparent Soils to Observe Soil Liquefaction and Fines Migration [PDF]
Journal of Imaging, 2022 The cyclic liquefaction of soils and associated mud-pumping can lead to costly repairs of roads, railways, and other heavy-haul infrastructure. Over the last decade, several laboratory studies have been conducted to investigate these phenomena, but, due ...

Development of Nanofluids for the Inhibition of Formation Damage Caused by Fines Migration: Effect of the Interaction of Quaternary Amine (CTAB) and MgO Nanoparticles [PDF]
Nanomaterials, 2020 Fines migration is a common problem in the oil and gas industry that causes a decrease in productivity. In this sense, the main objective of this study is to develop nanocomposites based on the interaction of quaternary amine (hexadecyltrimethylammonium ...

Cyclic confining pressure and rock permeability: Mechanical compaction or fines migration [PDF]
Heliyon, 2023 The apparent rocks permeability, measured under cyclic loading, tends to constantly decrease with each subsequent loading/unloading cycle, the main reason for this, the researchers consider irreversible deformations.

Application of silica nanofluid to control initiation of fines migration
Petroleum Exploration and Development, 2017 : Core flooding experiment was carried out through SiO2 nanofluid, which was used to change the surface properties of the pore walls, improve the attractive force between fines and pores walls against the hydrodynamic repulsive force in order to increase

Quantification of fines migration in block caving mining through laboratory experiments
Results in EngineeringThe migration of fines in block caving mining corresponds to the movement of small-size granular material. This material is directed toward drawpoints, causing dilution of valuable mineral and safety concerns due to the formation of cohesive arcs ...

Mitigation of fine migration in low salinity water flooding of clay-rich sandstones Using Fe₃O₄/Saponin/Cu(II) nanocomposite [PDF]
Discover NanoFines migration is a major cause of formation damage in clay‑rich sandstones, particularly under low‑salinity waterflooding where electrostatic double‑layer expansion destabilizes clay–mineral adhesion and causes severe permeability loss.

Experimental and theoretical investigation on low salinity brine injection timing in high water cut reservoirs for residual oil reduction and improved oil recovery [PDF]
Journal of Chemistry Letters, 2021 In this research, low salinity water flooding was used to investigate its low salinity effect in a high water cut sandstone reservoir to improve oil recovery. The application was done to five different sandstone cores in high water cut levels of 70%, 75%,
