Organic petrography via incident light microscopy has broad application to shale petroleum
systems, including delineation of thermal maturity windows and determination of organo …

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 …

The substitution of fossil fuel with clean hydrogen (H 2) has been identified as a promising
route to achieve net zero carbon emissions by this century. However, enough H 2 must be …

The wettability of reservoir rocks is considered to be closely related to fluid distribution and
CO 2 geo-storage (CGS) security after injecting CO 2 into reservoir. To investigate the …

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

With the increasing interest in unconventional resource plays, there have been important
changes in the way how reservoirs and their attributes are assessed and characterized. Of …

The influence of Supercritical CO 2 (SCCO 2) on geochemical interaction is considered a
key factor affecting CO 2 storage capacity in shales. To address this issue, samples from …

Geological CO 2 sequestration (GCS) is an essential building block of the global strategy to
alleviate greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the climate change. Injecting CO 2 into the …

Many of those assessing geochemical data have taken a “cookbook” approach to
interpretation. Such an approach generally does not take into consideration the limitations of …

Wettability alteration exhibits a significant potential to improve the oil recovery of shale
reservoirs by means of spontaneous imbibition through shifting the rock wetness from oil-wet …
