Experimental Investigation into the Effects of Fracturing Fluid-Shale Interaction on Pore Structure and Wettability by Yan Zhang, Zhiping Li, Fengpeng Lai, Hao Wu, Gangtao Mao, Caspar Daniel Adenutsi

“…One of the main techniques for the exploitation of shale oil and gas is hydraulic fracturing, and the fracturing fluid (slick water) may interact with minerals during the fracturing process, which has a significant effect on the shale pore structure. …”

Pore Structure Alteration Characteristics of Different Mineralogical Composition Shale during Shale-Fracturing Fluid Physical-Chemical Interactions by Zepeng Sun, Yongli Wang, Zhifu Wei, Yue Ni, Baoxiang Wu, Jing Li, Wenhua Fan, Gailing Wang, Yunxiao Li

“…To develop a foundational understanding of chemical interactions occurring on shale with different mineralogical compositions, two different types of mineral composition marine shale (carbonate-poor and carbonate-rich) from the Niutitang Formation were reacted with slick water fracturing fluid in a laboratory reactor at 100°C and 50 MPa for three days. …”
