    摘要: A method of acidizing a subterranean geological formation by injecting an emulsified acid into a wellbore, wherein the emulsified acid includes at least an aqueous phase comprising a hydrochloric acid solution, an oil phase comprising waste oil, and an emulsifier, and wherein the waste oil contains 45-75% by weight of aromatic compounds and preferably contains less than 0.5% by weight of non-hydrocarbon compounds. Various embodiments, and combinations of embodiments, of the emulsified acid and the method of acidizing are provided.

    摘要: This disclosure relates to a system and method for applying a prediction of permeability of shale gas in porous media at different pressure conditions to a shale gas production. The method uses a molecular model that accounts for slippage and adsorption effects under the different pressure conditions including simulated gas flows in a large computational domain representing a sample of shale rock. This system and method provides a computationally efficient processing to determine permeability variations of shale gas with the different pressure conditions.
