Summary This paper investigates whether gel behavior in rheometers correlates with that examined during extrusion through fractures. Although qualitative similarities were noted, the pressure gradients during gel extrusion through fractures were substantially greater than the values expected from rheological measurements. Also, the pressure gradient for gel extrusion through fractures varied in an unexpected manner with fracture width.
