Geochemical interactions of shale and brine in autoclave experiments—Understanding mineral reactions during hydraulic fracturing of Marcellus and Eagle Ford Shales

Geochemical interactions between shale and hydraulic fracturing fluid may affect produced-water chemistry and rock properties. It is important to investigate the rock–water reactions to understand the impacts. Eight autoclave experiments reacting Marcellus and Eagle Ford Shale samples with synthetic brines and a friction reducer were conducted for more than 21 days.

URTeC 2017 — An Overwhelming Success!

There is no doubt that the fifth edition of the Unconventional Resources Technology Conference (URTeC) held, 24-26 July 2017 in Austin, Texas was an overwhelming success. With the industry beginning to recover from a long downturn and the resulting stranglehold on unconventional reservoirs, the timing of this premier meeting on unconventional resource technology couldn’t have been better.

Terry Mather: An 'Under the Radar' Wildcatter

“I was always looking for a deal where I could get some slice of the pie.” That’s AAPG Emeritus Member Terry Mather, this year’s Norman H. Foster Outstanding Explorer Award winner, talking about motivation, talking about his life in exploration (specifically wildcatting), talking about the excitement, and talking about – at times – the letdown, where there wasn’t a slice of the pie.

Empirical relationship between gas composition and thermal maturity in Eagle Ford Shale, South Texas

Organic-rich and carbonate-rich Eagle Ford Shale is a self-sourced oil and gas reservoir with little alteration of gas chemistry as might be affected by petroleum expulsion and migration. As such it provides an ideal natural laboratory to quantify the compositional variation of gases generated from oil-prone type II kerogen during thermal maturation.
