Flow in porous media, phase behavior and ultralow interfacial tensions: Mechanisms of enhanced petroleum recovery: First annual report, October 1, 1985-September 30, 1986
A major program of university research, longer-ranged and more fundamental in approach than industrial research, into basic mechanisms of enhancing petroleum recovery and into underlying physics, chemistry, geology, applied mathematics, computation, and engineering science has been built at Minnesota. The 1985-86 outputs of the interdisciplinary team of investigators were again ideas, instruments, techniques, data, understanding and skilled people: 28 scientific and engineering publications in leading journals, two Ph.D. theses, the author of one going to industry, the other to a university, numerous presentations to scientific and technical meetings, and to industrial, governmental and university laboratories in the US., Europe and South America; and vigorous program of research visits to and from Minnesota. This report summarizes the papers and theses that emerged during the period 1 Oct 1985 to 30 Sept 1986 and features fifteen major accomplishments of the program during that year. Abstracts of the 28 publications and 2 theses are reported and several major accomplishments are reported in greater detail. Further details of information transfer and personnel exchange with industrial, governmental and university laboratories appear in Quarterly Reports available from the Department of Energy and are not reproduced here. The six sections in this report have been processed separately for inclusion in the Energy Data Base.
