The initiation and propagation mechanisms of supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO 2)
fracturing are more complex than those of hydraulic fracturing in calcite-rich shale due to the …

Shale reservoirs have been a significant focus of hydrocarbon production over the past few
decades, and the mechanical assessment of target shale reservoirs has been critical to …

In shale gas reservoirs, adsorbed gas accounts for 85% of the total shale gas in place (GIP).
The adsorption isotherms of shale samples are significant for understanding the …

Maturity-dependent bulk properties and molecular compositions of oils and condensates
produced from the lower Eagle Ford shales exhibit two distinct regional trends with …

Utilizing supercritical CO2 instead of water for shale gas stimulation has been proposed as a
potential alternative. Understanding the scCO2–shale interaction during fracturing and its …

Bedding planes are abundant in shale oil reservoirs, but the intrinsic mechanism of fracture-
height containment by these weak interfaces remains unclear. To investigate the effects of …

Encouraging the use of renewable energy is crucial for meeting our energy needs, but it
requires bulk storage to be practical. One potential solution is underground hydrogen …

Experimental investigation of the elastic behaviours of lacustrine shales remains sparse,
although they play an essential role in source rock evaluation, unconventional reservoir …

Understanding the impact of diagenesis on the elastic properties of organic-rich shale
reservoirs is essential for evaluating unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs and interpreting …

At present, the technology of carbon dioxide flooding shale gas is a hot topic for scholars.
The numerical simulation of shale gas driven by carbon dioxide is inseparable from the …
