Abstract: A method for evaluating a chemical treatment at a subsurface for improved well performance may include obtaining information about a post-reaction fluid that results from a fluid flowing through a testing vessel for a period of time, where the testing vessel comprises a plurality of materials, where the plurality of materials is designed to be representative of the subsurface, and where the plurality of materials comprises rock and proppant. The method may also include performing, using the information, a compatibility test on the post-reaction fluid and the plurality of materials after the period of time. The method may further include evaluating, after performing the compatibility test, an effect of the post-reaction fluid on the plurality of materials.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a system includes a housing having a cavity defined therein for holding a test sample, a first inlet in fluid communication with the cavity to deliver fluid to the test sample, a second inlet in fluid communication with the cavity to deliver fluid to the test sample, the first inlet configured to deliver fluid to the test sample in a direction substantially perpendicular to a direction that the second inlet is configured to deliver fluid to the test sample, an outlet in fluid communication with the cavity to receive fluid from the test sample, and a force applicator configured to apply compressive force to the test sample within the cavity. The force applicator forms a seal with the housing while applying compressive force to the test sample. The system also comprises at least one sensor configured to, while fluid flows from at least one of the inlets through the test sample to the outlet, determine a fluid characteristic, a test sample characteristic, or any combination thereof.
