TL;DR: In this paper, the development of an economically viable enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techni cation is discussed, which is typically less than 10% of the primary primary oil recovery from fractured unconventional formations, such as shale or tight sands.

TL;DR: In this article, the physical and chemical alteration of the carbonate-rich Utica Shale following CO2 exposure when thin films of water were present at the shale surface was probed.

TL;DR: The Utica Shale and its reactivity with CO2 and water is examined using scanning electron microscopy, N2 and CO2 sorption isotherms, mercury intrusion porosimetry, and X-ray scattering methods to assess alterations in the shale matrix that could impact flow pathways and ultimately, oil recovery factors and carbon storage potential.

TL;DR: In-situ Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy at high temperature and pressure was used to examine the geochemical interaction of CO2 (with and without water) and Marcellus Shale as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: A simple approach of alleviating the negative effect of water vapor to the optical fiber sensor by using alkylamine to form a protective hydrophobic layer on the surface of MOFs for improving water stability leads to an enhanced CO2 sensitivity and retention of the intrinsic CO2 sorption capacities even under humid conditions.
