Abstract
Methods and systems that may be employed to dynamically test the effect of fluids (e.g., well treatment chemicals such as well stimulation treatment chemicals, enhanced oil recovery 'EOR' chemicals, etc.) on hydrocarbon recovery from crushed reservoir formation materials under conditions of applied stress. The disclosed methods and systems may be used in one embodiment to dynamically test types of low permeability formations (e.g., such as shale, limestone, quarried rock, etc.). In one embodiment, a fluid flow apparatus may be provided that has a conductor segment that defines an internally-heterogeneous fluid flow space in the form of an internal slot. Such an internally-heterogeneous fluid flow space may include one or more fluid flow diversion features and/or have a varying or non-consistent cross-sectional flow area. Individual fluid flow apparatus may be configured for assembly and disassembly from each other, and/or may be configured to capture and contain contents for future testing.
