How 'Smart Water' Could Revolutionize Shale

Conventional wisdom dictates that water and oil do not mix--at least for those of us who are not MIT engineers. But a new discovery could soon turn that clichéd expression on its head and give oil producers something to cheer about. Scientists at Rice University’s Brown School of Engineering have successfully demonstrated that microscopic saltwater droplets can emulsify crude oil when done in the right proportions and conditions, something that could have huge ramifications for the shale industry.Understanding how the two seemingly immiscible liquids combine could lead to cheaper enhanced oil

On November 5, the author was informed that the Walkaway-VSP project for shale oil in-situ conversion in the Changqing Oilfield passed the acceptance check recently. Changqing Oilfield fully affirmed the project results and believed that the project provided reliable seismic results data for the shale oil in-situ conversion project team in the area for the next step.In situ technologies heat oil shale underground by injecting hot fluids into the rock formation, or by using linear or planar heating sources followed by thermal conduction and convection to distribute heat through the target area.
