The large-scale development and utilization of shale gas is significant for achieving the
“Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality” goals. However, addressing the ecological …

The hydrocarbon resources of shale gas and tight oil have made a significant impact on
North American energy reserves over the past decade. The production of so-called …

We evaluated the overall water footprint of hydraulic fracturing of unconventional shale gas
and oil throughout the United States based on integrated data from multiple database …

This study develops a multi-level programming model from a life cycle perspective for
performing shale-gas supply chain system. A set of leader-follower-interactive objectives …

Until now, up‐to‐date, comprehensive, spatial, national‐scale data on hydraulic fracturing
water volumes have been lacking. Water volumes used (injected) to hydraulically fracture …

We compared water use for hydraulic fracturing (HF) for oil versus gas production within the
Eagle Ford shale. We then compared HF water use for Eagle Ford oil with Bakken oil, both …

One of the critical problems in cooperative shale gas supply chains and production systems
design is life cycle optimization of the economic and environmental performance under …

Two critical challenges, namely high water resources consumption and growing greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions, are encountered across the current shale gas supply chains. This …

Abstract The American Petroleum Institute testing standard (API TR 10TR7) recommends
determining the mechanical performance of oil-well cement slurries in an ambient …

Hydraulic fracturing fluids contain a mix of organic and inorganic additives in an aqueous
media. The compositions of these mixtures vary according to the region or company use …
