How Oil and Water Don't Mix
A very similar branching process, which has been studied much longer, is known as viscous fingering, a topic of some importance to the oil industry (Figure 93). In order to extract oil from a well, water is pumped in under pressure. Since oil and water don't mix, the oil is pushed out through production wells. However, the manner in which the water flows through the oil is surprisingly complicated, and the amount of oil extracted is not as great as one would wish. A better understanding of the process holds out the hope of more efficient production.
