Effect of a Modified Silicone as a Thickener on Rheology of Liquid CO<sub>2</sub> and Its Fracturing Capacity

Effect of a Modified Silicone as a Thickener on Rheology of Liquid CO<sub>2</sub> and Its Fracturing Capacity

The low viscosity of pure liquid CO<sub>2</sub> hindered the development of CO<sub>2</sub> fracturing technology. A modified silicone polymer was prepared as a CO<sub>2</sub> thickener to investigate the effect of temperature, pressure, shear rate and thickener co...
