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 4):
The method of  claim 1 , where the step of preparing the sample further comprises the steps of:\n forming the sample into a column shape with a length L and a uniform cross section through the length L, the sample having a fluid-contacting portion, non-fluid-contacting portions, and an upper air flow portion; minimizing evaporation sources from the non-fluid-contacting portions of the sample; and allowing air flow at the upper air flow portion of the sample.
