Biofibre viscosifiers for subsurface production
Abstract A novel natural cellulose material (“biofibre”) suspension in water has potential both for enhanced oil recovery and proppant placement during fracturing in tight reservoirs. We analyse the different carrying mechanisms of biofibre against those of a cross-linked guar benchmark. Three visco...
