The rheology and processing behaviour of polymer and wormlike micelle solutions used in oil recovery
This thesis describes experimental and numerical simulation work that has been carried out on the naturally occurring polymer guar gum and the commercial wormlike micelle solution ClearFRAC. Both of these fluids are used in the hydraulic fracturing process, which improves the rate of oil recovery. T...
