The shale boom in North America started more than a decade ago, however, the issue of
substantial fracturing fluid loss inside shale did not draw much attention for a decade. In the …

Despite the success of hydrocarbon production from unconventional shale reservoirs, the
understanding of shale wettability under in-situ conditions remains a challenge. Shale …

The low recovery of hydraulic fracturing fluid in unconventional shale reservoirs has been in
the centre of attention from both technical and environmental perspectives in the last …

CO2 and CH4 wettabilities of organic-rich shale are important physicochemical parameters
that significantly influence CO2 sequestration and CH4 production. However, there is a …

Carbon geo-sequestration (CGS) is considered a mitigation technology for removing harmful
CO2 accumulations from the environment contributing toward a low-carbon future. One of …

Environmental and technical issues associated with hydraulic fracturing fluid leak‐off and its
low recovery in clay‐rich shale reservoirs has challenged the energy sector. One of the main …

A sound understanding of the pore-fracture system across all scales provides an in-depth
look at the intricate gas transport mechanisms in shale reservoirs. We performed a …

Wettability of CO2/brine/clay is one of the most important parameters in assessing CO2
