The composition of hydraulic fracturing (HF) fluid poses risks to human health and the environment by impacting drinking water sources. Fracturing fluid recovery rate is highly …
Large stores of previously inaccessible hydrocarbons have become available due to the development of hydraulic fracturing technologies. During the hydraulic fracturing process, a …
Produced water from unconventional oil and gas reservoirs often contains non-ionic surfactants that are added to the hydraulic fracturing fluid to facilitate water release and …
Minimizing loss of injected hydraulic fracturing fluids into shale along fracture-matrix boundaries is desired because imbibed water restricts gas production and wastes valuable …
