Potential environmental impacts from techniques to enhance rock permeability

Reservoir engineering is used to achieve and maintain an adequate flow rate for conventional oil and gas operations, as well as geothermal heat and power. Physical and chemical engineering techniques to increase or restore (rock) formation permeability have been widely used for many years. Using literature, experience and expert elicitation this project will improve our understanding of the physical and/or chemical processes involved with techniques to enhance rock permeability and identify potential environmental...
