- Thesis title:
Experimental Determination on Effect of Gel Breakers for Gravel Carrier Fluids at Different Temperatures
Contribution to knowledge:
The Study derived models that predict break time for carrier fluids and also catalogued a database for Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC), Xanthan and Hydroxypropyl Guar (HPG) fluids as related to Niger Delta operations. The study also discovered a local substitute for gel breaker which is effective at low temperature applications.
