Hydraulic fracturing of unconventional oil/gas shales has changed the energy landscape of the US Recovery of hydrocarbons from tight, hydraulically fractured shales is a highly …
We performed mechanical tests on several, mainly European black shales with different mineralogical composition, porosity and maturity. The uniaxial and triaxial compressive …
Shales are ubiquitous rocks in sedimentary basins, where their low permeability makes them efficient seals for conventional oil and gas reservoirs and underground waste storage …
The results from an ongoing laboratory study investigating petrophysical and geomechanical characteristics of the Montney and Bakken formations in Canada are …
For decades, scientists and engineers have been investigating and describing storage and transport mechanisms in geological porous media such as reservoir rocks. This effort has …
Small pores in high specific surface clay-rich caprocks give rise to high capillary entry pressures and high viscous drag that hinder the migration of buoyant carbon dioxide CO 2 …
We document vertical permeability of 2.3 * 10^-21\, m^ 2 2.3× 10-21 m 2 (2.3 nd) and horizontal permeability of 9.5 * 10^-20\, m^ 2 9.5× 10-20 m 2 (96.3 nd) in two Barnett Shale …
