A study of the mechanism of nonuniform production rate in shale gas based on nonradioactive gas tracer technology

Energy Science & Engineering, 2020
The performance of horizontal wells in shale gas is controlled by multiple factors, and there is a difference in gas production rate between different fracturing stages. However, the mechanism of the nonuniform gas production rate is still not clear.

Surface hydration‐induced damage in tight oil‐bearing sandy conglomerate reservoirs

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
A series of techniques such as X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy‐dispersive spectroscopy, conductivity tests, and infrared thermal imaging were used. The key findings are the identification of a two‐stage surface hydration process and the elucidation of the effects of various minerals and elements on the hydration process ...

The impact of forced closure on proppant distribution of hydraulic fracturing in shale formations

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Research findings demonstrate that implementing forced closure within shale formations can remarkably mitigate proppant settlement, concurrently increasing the effective propped surface area from 29.74% to 38.68%. Abstract Forced closure is widely used in conventional oil and gas reservoirs to promote uniform proppant placement.

Pore Structure Characteristics and Genesis of Low-Permeability Sandstone Reservoirs in the Eocene Wenchang Formation, Huizhou Sag, Pearl River Mouth Basin, Northern South China Sea

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Porosity and permeability are critical parameters in petroleum exploration and development. The relationship between pore structure and permeability in near-source reservoirs is more closely correlated than in other types of reservoirs.

Waves of Uncertainty: Crude Oil Under Geopolitical, Economic, and ESG Turbulence

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Dynamic copula and wavelet coherence reveal that geopolitical, economic, and sustainability uncertainties significantly shape crude oil price co‐movements. Long‐term coherence, especially post‐2015, highlights the growing role of ESG risks alongside geopolitical shocks and economic crises in global energy risk transmission.

Critical Review on the Molecular Behavior of Surfactants at the Oil–Water Interface During Oil Displacement

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This review systematically explores the molecular behavior of diverse surfactants (anionic, cationic, nonionic, amphoteric) at the oil–water interface through molecular dynamics simulations. It highlights their roles in reducing interfacial tension, altering interfacial structure, and enhancing oil recovery efficiency.
