Impact of de-ionized water on changes in porosity and permeability of shales mineralogy due to clay-swelling
Abstract Hydraulic fracturing is widely applied for economical gas production from shale reservoirs. Still, the swelling of the clay micro/nano pores due to retained fluid from hydraulic fracturing causes a gradual reduction of gas production. Four different gas-bearing shale samples with different...
