The water quality characteristics of shale oil produced water are complex and highly unstable, which poses difficulties for its treatment, storage, and resource utilization. This study focused on shale oil produced water...

"In this work, the potential replacement of xanthan gum (XGD) by cellulose nanofibrils in the composition of water based muds (WBMs) was studied. Bleached (B-CNF) and unbleached (L-CNF) cellulose nanofibrils, mainly diff...

The Early Cretaceous Zubair Formation is a key clastic reservoir in southern  Iraq, but reservoir quality varies laterally between major fields. To evaluate  and compare Zubair Formation petrophysical properties in the...

Fluid transport on confined systems is a subject of theoretical and technological interest. For instance, remarkable high flow rates have been obtained in carbon nanochannels (CNs) which cannot be predicted by standard m...

The effect of confinement pressure on fracture toughness may be significant in materials with poor tensile strength, as is the case of most rocks. In fracking wells for hydrocarbon exploitation, rock fracture is induced ...

Being the main oil-bearing basin of Argentina, the Neuquén Basin contains a well-documented stratigraphic record of continental and marine sedimentation during the Jurassic and Cretaceous in the western margin of Gondwa...

"La creciente demanda hidrocarburífera ha llevado al estudio y producción de reservorios no convencionales de tipo shale en Argentina y el mundo. Este tipo de formaciones sedimentarias de estructura laminar, están con...
