Water‐based drilling fluids formulated with mature fine tailings

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Mature fine tailings (MFT) are persistent, highly stable colloidal suspensions generated as byproducts of bitumen extraction from oil sands. Given their environmental risks, identifying viable applications for MFT could reduce their accumulation while offsetting natural resource use.

DIAGNOSIS OF STEADY-STATE CHARACTERISTICS IN LAMINAR FLOW OF FLUIDS

Rudarsko-geološko-naftni Zbornik
Laminar flow of fluids is one of the most common forms of motion in oilfield practice. In such a flow regime of fluid, the determination of velocity-flow rate performance which takes into account the rheological properties of the fluid is of great ...

Large droplet release

Droplet, EarlyView.
Curved hydrophobic mesh surfaces enable stable release of large droplets exceeding the capillary length. By tuning surface curvature, porosity, and acceleration, oscillatory breakup is suppressed, producing near‐spherical droplets ideal for high‐precision fluid applications and multiphase flow control.

The impact of forced closure on proppant distribution of hydraulic fracturing in shale formations

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Research findings demonstrate that implementing forced closure within shale formations can remarkably mitigate proppant settlement, concurrently increasing the effective propped surface area from 29.74% to 38.68%. Abstract Forced closure is widely used in conventional oil and gas reservoirs to promote uniform proppant placement.

Numerical simulation study on the evolution of the temperature field and frozen wall in fractured rock mass

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The evolution of the temperature field and frozen wall under different fracture conditions was examined by an artificial ground freezing‐based thermal‐hydraulic coupled model. It was observed that fracture inclination affects the interaction extent of freezing pipes and fracture, while phase transition extent is the dominant factor for heat transfer in

Multi‐factor coupling effects in hydraulic fracturing of laminated shale: Experimental insights and physics‐informed neural network‐driven optimization

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study establishes a multi‐factor coupling framework for predicting breakdown pressure in laminated shale by integrating experimental hydraulic fracturing tests, physics‐informed neural networks (PINNs), and Sobol sensitivity analysis. It reveals how differential stress, the bedding dip angle, and the injection rate interact to influence fracture ...

Probabilistic characterization of seepage‐induced tunnel face failure via a two‐phase double‐point material point method

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
To address seepage‐induced tunnel face collapse, this study develops a two‐phase double‐point MPM framework to capture large‐deformation hydro‐mechanical interactions. Incorporating a cementation‐based constitutive model with dynamic permeability updates, the model is successfully validated against saturated granular‐column collapse experiments ...

Charting Water‐in‐Natural‐Salt (WiNS) Electrolytes. Part I: Effect of Anion's Alkyl Tail Length

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
At 20 m, potassium carboxylates from formate to butyrate reveal anion tail‐controlled nanostructure. SAXS shows a pre‐peak shifting to lower q with chain length. Molecular dynamics reproduces S(q) and attributes it to concentration fluctuations forming bicontinuous segregation.

CONVENTIONAL PRESSURE ANALYSIS FOR NATURALLY-FRACTURED RESERVOIRS WITH NON-NEWTONIAN PSEUDOPLASTIC FLUIDS

Revista Fuentes El Reventón Energético, 2013
Conventional oil reserves are coming to an end, then, some unconventional sources, such as heavy oil, are being the aim of oil companies. Most of heavy oils, drilling fluids and fracturing fluids behave as non-Newtonian and these fluids are erroneously ...

Particle settling in a shear-thinning, viscoelastic fluid in the presence of wall effects

Scientific Reports
The settling of particles in fluids is a widespread phenomenon and commonly involves accounting for the effects of walls. Particle settling and wall effects are well understood for Newtonian fluids but the consequences of non-Newtonian fluid properties ...
