Comparison of CO2 Flow Behavior through Intact Siltstone Sample under Tri-Axial Steady-State and Transient Flow Conditions

With its low viscosity properties, CO2 has much greater penetration capacity into micro-fractures, and therefore has more potential to create expanded and effective fractures in shales during the hydraulic fracturing process. However, the feasibility of this technique is dependent on the accurate pr...
