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 …

Wellbore stability in shale is a recurring crisis during oil and gas well drilling. The adsorption
of water and ions from drilling fluid by shale, which causes clay swelling, is the primary …

Shale stabilization is very significant in avoiding any wellbore instability issues during
drilling. Water based drilling mud is usually used with mechanical or chemical inhibitors to …

To address shale wellbore instability and promote sustainable development in the oil and
gas drilling industry, chitin nanofibers (ChNFs) were extracted from shrimp shells and …

This study developed a shale hydration inhibitor using a citric acid-based deep eutectic
solvent (Cit-DES) and hexadecylammonium bromide (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) to …

Recently, the role of carbon nanomaterials has been widely demonstrated in various
industrial applications. Due to their unique chemical, physical, mechanical, and thermal …

The article presents the results of a comprehensive comparative analysis of the effect of
single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes on the main performance characteristics …

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

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

Drilling fluids must be cautiously designed to form an impermeable filter cake layer that
diminishes the intensity of solid and mud invasion during drilling of a well. Inability to abate …
