Abstract:
The disclosure relates to methods for determining imbibition of hydraulic fracturing fluids into hydrocarbon-bearing formations. More specifically, the disclosure relates to laboratory methods for determining certain unconventional flow parameters to measure the imbibition over time of hydraulic fracturing fluids into a low-permeability hydrocarbon-bearing rock formation.

Claim (Index 9):
The method of  claim 1 , where the step of determining a transport parameter of the sample responsive to the volumetric liquid content spatial distribution along the sample after the spontaneous imbibition test further comprises the steps of:\n averaging the spatial distribution of liquid content along the sample over a cross section of the sample to obtain spatial distribution of liquid content data and smoothing the spatial distribution of liquid content data to remove noisy data.
