gel extrude experiment with RF calculation In a petroleum engineering laboratory, an experiment is underway to estimate the Resistant Factor of a polymer gel for developing in a core samlple from reservoir and a model of enhanced oil recovery from reservoirs using polymer gel sweeping through fractures. Utilizing the following data, calculate the Resistance Factor and determine the pressure required (psi/ft) to extrude this gel through the fracture:
Length of core =7.34 cm
Diameter of core =3.972 cm
Effective area =12.38 cm^2
Viscosity of the Gel 9% TDS =155 cp
Pore volume (PV)=10.2 ml
Fracture volume =4.58 ml
Propped with 2 strands 16 gauge wire, md =1.570
Given:
Q1=20 ml/hr
Pressure differential =917 psi
