A review of shale swelling by water adsorption

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the relationship of factors that influence shale swelling, including initial water content, clay fraction, and confined pressure, and found that water adsorption creates higher swelling volume than moisture adsorptions.

Experimental Investigation of Mechanical Properties of Black Shales after CO2-Water-Rock Interaction

TL;DR: The results of uniaxial compressive strength tests together with an acoustic emission system and SEM and EDS analysis were performed to investigate the mechanical properties and microstructural changes of black shales with different saturation times in water dissoluted with gaseous/super-critical CO2.

Water sorption behaviour of gas shales: I. Role of clays

TL;DR: In this article, the role of clays on water sorption (adsorption and desorption) behavior of gas shale samples was investigated. And the results indicated that spontaneous water imbibition is always faster and yields higher water saturation compared to the water adsorption process.

Experimental investigation on the mechanical behaviours of a low-clay shale under water-based fluids

TL;DR: In this article, an experimental study of the impact of water-based fluids on the mechanical properties of a low-clay shale is presented. But, little research has been done to investigate such effect on resource shales which mainly have low clay contents.

Advanced developments in shale inhibitors for oil production with low environmental footprints – A review

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a comprehensive review of inhibitors, aiming to understand the clay swelling mechanisms and the development of water-based mud additives for hydration restriction, which can not only efficiently diminish the clay hydration swelling but also fulfill progressively rigorous environmental regulations, even though staying cost efficient.
