Application and Optimization of CCUS Technology in Shale Gas Production and Storage (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783725851294)

Worldwide climate change poses a significant challenge to current energy consumption patterns, prompting heightened interest in the development of comprehensive technologies that can enhance energy supply while simultaneously reducing carbon emissions. Against this backdrop, Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) in shale gas production and storage has garnered increasing attention in recent years. This technique offers dual benefits: extracting energy from geological formations while simultaneously sequestering CO₂ underground. Shale gas reservoirs are widely regarded as suitable geological targets for CCUS deployment. However, the technology remains insufficiently mature for large-scale field implementation. Consequently, shale-based CCUS has become a focal point of extensive scientific research, which has motivated the organization of this Special Issue.
