Quantitative predictions of natural and induced phenomena in fractured rock is one of the
great challenges in the Earth and Energy Sciences with far‐reaching economic and …

Shale gas, as an important unconventional natural gas resource, is the main force to
increase natural gas reserves and production in the future. For shale gas with huge …

Predicting gas production from stimulated unconventional reservoirs has always been a
challenge to oil and gas companies because the physics of fluid flow through such …

Drilling rate of penetration (ROP) prediction has long been a part of any drilling activity. By
accurate prediction of ROP, optimization can be done that maximizes ROP and reduces …

Million tons of drill cuttings generated from shale gas development are currently disposed of
in landfills, buried in-situ, or reused as road fill. Cuttings, core samples and operating drilling …

In this study, we demonstrate the application of an interpretable (or explainable) machine‐
learning workflow using surface drilling data to identify fracturable, brittle, and productive …

Shale reservoirs host ubiquitous multi-scale natural fractures created by factors such as pore
pressure build-up after petroleum generation and palaeo crustal stress changes during …

Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) has been used for the analysis of
hydrocarbon bearing shale samples. Shale samples taken from a Marcellus gas well at …

Abstract The Marcellus Shale Energy and Environmental Lab (MSEEL) provides a publicly
available dataset and a hypothesis-driven field test of the significance of preexisting natural …

Waters coproduced with hydrocarbons from unconventional oil and gas reservoirs such as
the hydraulically fractured Middle Devonian Marcellus Shale in the Appalachian Basin, USA …
