Carbonate reservoirs generally achieved relatively low primary resource recovery rates. It is
therefore often necessary to clean those reservoirs up and/or stimulate them post drilling …

Mineral dissolution significantly alters pore structure and mechanical properties during acid
fracturing, profoundly influencing fracture propagation behaviors. However, a …

As the main way to reproduce flow response in subsurface reservoirs, the reservoir
simulation could drastically assist in reducing the uncertainties in the geological …

Pore scale immiscible displacement is crucial in oil industry. The surface roughness of throat
is an important factor affecting water–oil interface movement. In this paper, the Navier …

Matrix acidizing is a stimulation technique to improve oil recovery in carbonate reservoirs. In
this work, a new two-scale continuum model is used to study acidizing process in radial flow …

Bedding planes are abundant in the continental shale oil reservoirs, but their impact on
hydraulic fracturing is still not fully understood. To investigate the effects of stress condition …

Extensive studies have been conducted to capture the acid stimulation process in calcite
rocks. The related studies on the dolomite system are far more limited in number, and this …

Fracture penetration or deflection may occur when the hydraulic fracture approaches weak
interface in multi-layered formation. However, the intrinsic mechanism of fracture …

Shaped charge perforation is the most widely used method to connect wellbores and
reservoir formation. The skin factor is high after perforation tunnel cleaning in some offshore …

Imbibition is the process by which the wetting fluid displaces the non-wetting fluid driven by
capillary force. It occurs in many natural and industrial processes, such as enhanced oil …
