The poor proppant-carrying capacity of SC-CO 2 fracturing (SCF) negates its potential
advantages for the exploitation of deep unconventional gas reservoirs over traditional water …

Clay-abundant shale formations are quite common worldwide shale plays. This particular
type of shale play has unique physico-chemical characteristics and therefore responds …

Equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations were conducted for pure n-butane and for
mixtures containing n-butane and carbon dioxide confined in 2 nm wide slit-shaped pores …

Shale reservoirs have attracted increasing attention in recent years as a new and promising
geological repository for carbon dioxide (CO 2) storage. However, their long-term storage …

Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation methods
were used to investigate the adsorption and diffusion properties of CH4 and CO2 in calcite …

Abstract The Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) and molecular dynamics (MD)
simulation methods were used to investigate the adsorption and diffusion properties of CH4 …

The low carbon P110 steel has been recently considered as a potential pipeline material for
shale gas sequestration using CO 2-based fracturing technique. The significant problem in …

An understanding of molecular behavior on a microscopic level is always important not only
to find out the natural principles but also to decide how to solve problems in applications. In …

Liquid carbon dioxide rock-breaking (L-CDRB) is a new physical blasting technology. To
study the characteristics of its vibration velocity, rock-breaking field tests were conducted …

Unconventional resources (oil, gas, and geothermal) are often buried deep underground
within dense rock strata and complex geological structures, making it increasingly difficult to …
