Hydraulic fracturing is an efficient stimulation means for the exploitation of unconventional
oil/gas resources as well as geothermal energy. However, there are several issues for …

Technical and environmental concerns, besides water conservation in remote areas, are
associated with the utilization of conventional water, oil, and polymer based fracturing …

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 …

Ultrasonic fracturing (UF) can be used to form crack networks for oil or gas in the mining
industry and hard rock excavation. In this paper, the three-dimensional internal laser …

The effects of fracture distribution on the heat extraction performance of enhanced
geothermal system (EGS) are very significant. Referring to lots of EGS fracturing projects, the …

As an emerging waterless fracturing technology, supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO 2)
fracturing can reduce reservoir damage and dependence on water resources, and can also …

One salient feature of the heat pipe system is its superior heat transfer efficiency, which
allows the transfer of significant amount of heat at near-zero temperature difference. In …

How to effectively and cleanly exploit unconventional resources is currently being widely
concerned. Due to the unavoidable limitations of water-based fracturing, CO 2 and N 2 etc …

Supercritical CO2 pneumatic fracturing technology has promising applications in petroleum
and shale gas extraction. A true triaxial supercritical CO2 pneumatic fracturing experimental …

Safely and high-efficiently breaking rock is of practical significance. In some engineering,
explosive blasting may be restricted for its side effects. Traditional non-explosive methods …
