Microporomechanical modeling of shale
Shale, a common type of sedimentary rock of significance to petroleum and reservoir engineering, has recently emerged as a crucial component in the design of sustainable carbon and nuclear waste storage solutions and as a prolific natural gas source. Despite its importance, the highly heterogeneous …

Evaluating Leachability of Residual Solids Generated from Unconventional Shale Gas Production Operations in Marcellus Shale
Hydraulic fracturing operations utilized for shale gas production result in the generation of a large volume of flowback and produced water that contain suspended material, salts, hydrocarbons, metals, chemical additives, and naturally-occurring radioactive material. The water is impounded at …

Swelling behavior of Illinois coal shale
… expansive pressure and strain developed in roof shales associated with Illinois coal mines. This model also can be used to estimate the magnitude of swelling generated within the shale when it is subject to humidity changes caused by atmospheric variation at the mine entrance. The model is …

PRODUCTION FORECASTING FOR SHALE OIL: WORKFLOW
… Different methodologies to estimate reserves for shale gas and coal bed methane have, thus far, proved to be reliable, but no simple yet accurate workflow has been generally accepted to forecast production and estimate reserves for shale oil. To fill this gap in technology, we proposed and …

Shale gas development and respiratory health
… has rapidly increased in areas rich in shale gas and oil in the years 2006 onwards. Areas that have undergone shale gas development are likely to be largely rural with few other air pollution point sources. Fracking operations such as well drilling, gas processing, and increased truck …

Borehole Breakouts in Transversely Isotropic Posidonia Shale
… drilling through finely laminated, organic rich shales (Økland and Cook, 1998; Ottesen, 2010; etc.); such instabilities should be avoided to assure a successful exploitation and safe production of the contained unconventional hydrocarbons. Borehole instabilities, such as borehole breakouts or …

Multiscale strength homogenization : application to shale nanoindentation
Shales are one of the most encountered materials in sedimentary basins. Because of their highly heterogeneous nature, their strength prediction for oil and gas exploitation engineering has long time been an enigma. In this thesis, we propose a two-scale non-linear procedure for the homogenization …
