Shales have become increasingly highlighted in our search for unconventional gas and oil resources, storage of CO₂, and disposal of nuclear waste. Complex nanopore structures and surface properties pose a challenge in understanding the coupled multiphysics involved in non-Darcy fluid flow and reactive transport within this important rock type. In addition, a better understanding of geochemical and environmental reactions is essential to designing safer energy-related subsurface operation strategies, predicting their performance, and assessing potential risks.  This session seeks contributions with a focus on water/shale/gas interactions, geochemical tracers (isotopes, organics, metals), and water chemistry for understanding the mechanisms and processes involved in generation, migration, trapping, and recovering of these resources in unconventional low-permeability systems. We welcome imaging, experiments, and modeling contributions from the molecular to the continuum scale. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, reactive transport, mineral-brine interactions, the properties of water, adsorption, osmotic effects, and nanopore and brine chemistry related to shale gas extraction and geologic storage of CO₂ and nuclear waste disposal in shale.

 

Invited Speakers:

•      Unconventional Oil and Gas: David Cole (Ohio State Univ.); Kevin Gregory (Carnegie Mellon University); Qinhong Hu (University of Texas at Arlington ); and Yucel Akkutlu (Texas A&M)

•      Geologic Carbon Sequestration: John Loring (PNNL); Catherine Peters (Princeton Univ.)

•      Nuclear Waste Disposal: Christopher Neuzil (USGS); Andrey Kalinichev (Laboratoire SUBATECH , France)

 

Interested researchers are encouraged to contact the symposium organizers regarding the suitability of their papers for this symposium.

 

We look forward to receiving your abstracts and to seeing you in Dallas in March.

 

Best Regards,

Young-Shin
