Mechanical-Chemical-Mineralogical Controls on Permeability Evolution of Shale Fractures by Yunzhong Jia, Yiyu Lu, Jiren Tang, Yi Fang, Binwei Xia, Zhaolong Ge

“…The experimental observations imply that (1) CO2-rich aqueous fluids have significant impact on the evolution of fracture permeability and may influence (and increase) shale gas production; (2) shale mineralogy, especially calcite mineral, decides the chemical reaction and permeability increasing when CO2-rich aqueous fluids flow through fractures by free-face dissolution effect; (3) clay mineral swelling reduces fracture aperture and additively calcite pressure solution removes the bridging asperities, which are the main reasons for fracture permeability decrease; (4) competition roles among clay mineral swelling, mineral pressure solution, and free-face dissolution determine how fracture permeability changes. …”
