Water‐based drilling fluids formulated with mature fine tailings

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Mature fine tailings (MFT) are persistent, highly stable colloidal suspensions generated as byproducts of bitumen extraction from oil sands. Given their environmental risks, identifying viable applications for MFT could reduce their accumulation while offsetting natural resource use.

World's fastest 10 000‐m breakthrough: The XY‐22 well redefines deep‐earth access in the Tarim Basin

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The Tarim Basin in northwestern China hosts one of the world's deepest petroleum systems, exemplified by the XY‐22 ultra‐deep well (bottom depth: 11 116 m; ~220°C, ~145 MPa). This study integrates tectonic mapping, geological cross‐sections, ultraviolet fluorescence microscopy, and optical photothermal infrared (OPTIR) spectroscopy to characterize ...

Anode Materials Requirements for Potassium Ion Batteries: Challenges and Future Possibilities

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
This work identifies a critical scale‐up gap between laboratory battery research and industrial targets, driven by low active‐mass loadings and the omission of full‐cell metrics. We outline concrete strategies to bridge this divide, shifting focus toward high‐loading electrodes (> 3 mg cm−2) to ensure practical commercial viability of potassium ion ...

Quantitative Insights into Atomic Scale Oil–Clay Adhesion Governing Shale Oil Retention and Mobility

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Atomic force microscopy reveals a clear adhesion hierarchy between shale oil and clay minerals, governed by nanoscale surface chemistry. Strong interactions on chlorite and illite arise from abundant polar sites and cation bridging, whereas weaker coupling on montmorillonite limits interfacial binding.

The efficiency of bio-char as bitumen modifier

Heliyon
Improving the mechanical properties of bitumen is an important goal for road pavements design. For this reason, new compounds are now being sought for testing as bitumen modifiers. In this work, the authors studied the effect that two different chars have on two 50/70 bitumens with different chemical and physical characteristics.

Post‐Stimulation Hydraulic Response and Productivity Constraints of a Low‐Productivity Carbonate Geothermal Well in the Small Intramontane Basin, Beijing Piedmont, North China

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Formed ~1.4 Ga, the carbonate reservoir of the Jixian System is a key geothermal reservoir in northern China. Differential basin–mountain evolution since the Cenozoic led to distinct reservoir‐forming histories; consequently, this same reservoir shows marked productivity contrasts between intramontane basins and the large rift Bohai Bay Basin ...

Vehicle Fires: Significant Fire Hazard in Transportation Infrastructure

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vehicle flammability poses a critical threat to transportation infrastructure, with recent fires in depots, tunnels, and car parks highlighting systemic vulnerabilities. These incidents often result in the total loss of vehicles and buildings, revealing the inadequacy of current fire safety standards for vehicle materials.
