Abstract: Volume and salt concentrations in Marcellus flowback water depend on geology, drilling and completions, stimulation and flowback operations. Recent studies include evaluations of geochemical origins based on the compostition ...

Abstract: Acoustic travel times through Green River shale samples both parallel and perpendicular to bedding are measured to investigate water interactions with Green River shale and the impact of pertinent factors including exposure ...

Abstract: Horizontal drilling with successful multistage hydraulic fracture treatments is the most widely applied and effective method to enable economic development of hydrocarbon-bearing shale reservoirs. Once fracture networks ...
