Hydraulics play an important function in many oil field operations including drilling, completion, fracturing, acidizing, workover and production. The standard API methods for drilling fluid hydraulics assume either power law or Bingham plastic rheological model. These models and corresponding hydraulic calculations do provide a simple way for fair estimates of hydraulics for conventional verti...

Formation drying and salt precipitation due to gas injection or production can have serious consequences for upstream operations in terms of injectivity and productivity. Recently evidence has been found that the complexity of the pore space and the respective capillary driven solute transport plays a key role for the relationship of permeability and porosity. In this study, we investigate dryo...
