The critical interstitial velocity at which permeability reduction due to fines migration is initiated can be determined in laboratory tests. These tests simulate the effect of [[high flow rates]] that exist near the wellbores of both injection and production wells. Muecke (1979)<ref name=Muecke_1979>Muecke, T. W., 1979, Formation fines and factors controlling their movement in porous media: Journal of Petroleum Technology, v. 31, p. 144-150.</ref> discusses factors controlling fines movement. These include fluids flowing, fines [[wettability]], and interfacial forces.
