Abstract: The present invention comprises a test for evaluating spontaneous hydraulic fracturing fluid imbibition and oil displacement method and apparatus utilizing a composite core with a pressurized Amott cell test.

Abstract: A drill cuttings composite core apparatus, system, and method that may utilize sieve shaker equipped with a solvent wash system to separate, clean, and size cuttings, a centrifugal mill equipped with a 12 tooth rotor and 1.0 mm ring sieve, a compactor mold that may be 1.5 inches in diameter and up to 6 inches long, dual piston compactor with independent air control valves, and a spacer on top of a bottom piston that allow compacted core to be pushed up through top of mold for easy removal with no special tools or handling.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a friction flow loop test method and apparatus that simulates well bore hydraulic conditions during fracturing utilizing large dual tanks with a primary feed tank and a secondary receiving tank wherein friction reducer hydration is controlled in an environment matching the well bore and is unaffected by recirculation mixing.
