Flow of Clay Suspensions in Porous Media

SPE California Regional Meeting
Abstract

This study was undertaken to investigate the transient behavior of particulate plugging of porous media. The objectives of the experiments were to study in detail a well-characterized system and to check the validity of theoretical predictions. Experiments included injection of clay suspensions under different conditions into sandpacks, measurement of pore-size distribution, and monitoring of permeability and effluent particle concentrations.
