Using Transparent Soils to Observe Soil Liquefaction and Fines Migration [PDF]
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]
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]
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.

Mitigation of fine migration in low salinity water flooding of clay-rich sandstones Using Fe₃O₄/Saponin/Cu(II) nanocomposite [PDF]
Fines 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.

Enhancing chalk formation integrity by diammonium phosphate treatment [PDF]
Fine-grained chalk reservoirs in the North Sea (NS) commonly experience fines migration or particle production, or both, leading to production issues like formation damage and reduced production.

Analysis of characteristics of coal fine production and its influence factors in Baode block [PDF]
The issue of coal fine production is increasingly prominent in the development of coal-bed methane. Implementing appropriate measures to control the migration and production of coal fines is crucial for achieving stable and high production of coal-bed ...

Experimental and theoretical investigation on low salinity brine injection timing in high water cut reservoirs for residual oil reduction and improved oil recovery [PDF]
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%,

Treatment of Oil Production Data under Fines Migration and Productivity Decline
Fines migration is a common cause of permeability and, consequently, injectivity and productivity decline in subterranean reservoirs. Many practitioners implement prevention or remediation strategies to reduce the impact of fines migration on field ...

Numerical simulation study on influence of coal fines migration on porosity and permeability in cataclastic coal [PDF]
During coalbed methane (CBM) production, coal fines within the reservoir can migrate, potentially blocking pore throats and resulting in a significant reduction in reservoir permeability. This process adversely affects the final CBM yield. To investigate
