CO 2 fracturing is one potential technique to relieve environmental issues related to the
massive hydraulic fracturing of hydrocarbon reservoirs. We summarize fundamental studies …

One of the primary drivers of global warming is the exponential increase in CO2 emissions.
According to IPCC, if the CO2 emissions continue to increase at the current rate, global …

Abstract Supercritical carbon dioxide (ScCO 2)-based fracturing technology associating with
CO 2 enhanced shale gas recovery is a promising technology to reduce the water …

The most popular design for solar energy receivers that achieves great thermal performance
is a cavity receiver. This study experimentally compared two novel shapes of cavity …

A novel method for geothermal exploitation and electricity generation from multibranch U-
shaped well–enhanced geothermal systems is proposed herein. Furthermore, a coupled …

Herein, the effect of the power capacity, W net, on the performance of supercritical carbon
dioxide (sCO 2) coal-fired power plants is investigated, with W net in the range of (100 …

To address the wellbore instability risk during drilling in hydrate reservoirs, a fully coupled
wellbore–reservoir model for horizontal drilling through a hydrate reservoir is presented …

In the present study, the oil miscibility and displacement of CO 2/oil systems in nanoslits
referred to three minerals (eg, quartz, calcite and kaolinite) were characterized by molecular …

Oversimplification of the heat transfer mechanism and assumption of uniform temperature
and pressure in the salt cavern could cause significant errors when modeling temperature …

Unconventional gas reservoirs are characterized by ultra-low permeability. Such ultra-low
permeability can significantly affect the geometry of the fractures being created in the …
