The use of hydraulic fracturing techniques to extract oil and gas from low permeability shale
reservoirs has increased significantly in recent years. During hydraulic fracturing, large …

Hydraulic fracturing has been widely implemented to enhance hydrocarbon production from
shale reservoirs. However, one of the main challenges during hydraulic fracturing is to …

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 …

Hydraulic fracturing for gas production is now ubiquitous in shale plays, but relatively little is
known about shale-hydraulic fracturing fluid (HFF) reactions within the reservoir. To …

Shale has certain characteristic features that make it difficult to evaluate in a traditional
laboratory setting. The unique characteristics of shale formations include very low …

Several processes have been proposed to describe the low recovery of hydraulic fracturing
fluid in unconventional shale reservoirs which has caused both technical and environmental …

Improving production of shale gas and tight oil from low-permeability formations has
