Hydrogen future depends on large-scale storage, which can be provided by geological
formations (such as caverns, aquifers, and depleted oil and gas reservoirs) to handle …

Challenges associated with drilling operations are numerous and their adverse effect could
lead to severe damage or even shutting down of the drilling operations. Wellbore instability …

The demand for clean and sustainable energy has driven the need for efficient storage.
Hydrogen being a carbon–neutral energy carrier, offers a versatile solution. However …

Water-based drilling fluids (WBDFs), a more environment-friendly candidate than oil-based
are widely used for drilling oil and gas wells. However, wellbore instability due to active clay …

The initiation and propagation mechanisms of supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO 2)
fracturing are more complex than those of hydraulic fracturing in calcite-rich shale due to the …

Proppants have evolved from their primary role of preventing fracture closure to performing
technically functional roles within reservoirs. This paper presents an extensive review of …

Inhibitors have evolved from their primary function of controlling swelling during hydraulic
fracturing processes in shale reservoirs. This study provides a comprehensive review of …

Shale swelling during drilling operations causes many problems mainly related to wellbore
instability. The oil-based muds (OBMs) are very effective in controlling the swelling potential …

During the drilling process, when the drill encounters easily hydrated shale formations, the
problems generated by the shale hydration are often very serious, and developing a method …

This article comprehensively reviews the potential application and effects of different
moieties of ionic liquids (ILs) on shale stabilization processes. The shale swelling inhibitory …
