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.
