In Nigeria, the rapid population increase and the overreliance on fossil fuel have created
significant environmental, health, political, and economic consequences leading to severe …

In the paper, the thermal-hydraulic-mechanical (THM) coupling model is improved by
considering more factors, and a comprehensive evaluation method is proposed to optimize …

Carbon dioxide enhanced oil recovery (EOR) has been proved to effectively reduce CO 2
emissions by storing industrial CO 2 underground while increasing oil production. An …

The recovery of oil and gas from underground reservoirs has a pervasive impact on
petroleum-producing companies' financial strength. A significant cause of the low recovery is …

Abstract The Bakken Shale has attracted much attention because of its huge potential for
shale oil. To characterize the nanoscale pore structure of the Bakken shale, ten samples …

Tight sandstone reservoirs with low porosity and permeability are always vulnerable to
damage due to drilling and fracturing fluids, which significantly impedes hydrocarbon …

Today, oil and natural gas are the most important sources of human energy. These two
essential sources have strategic importance in economic and political equations of the world …

Tight oil reservoirs have the characteristics of wide pore size range and complex pore
system. The understanding of pore characteristics is the basis for studying the accumulation …

Pore connectivity is one of the most important characteristics of shale reservoirs because it
significantly impacts the effective pore space, the fluid migration, and the gas production. In …

The wastes from functional polymers (polyanionic cellulose, polyacrylamide, potassium
polyacrylamide, and hydroxyethyl cellulose) generated during oil and gas exploration and …
