Comparative Laboratory Study of the Geochemical Reactivity of the Marcellus Shale: <i>Rock–Fluid Interaction of Drilled Core Samples vs. Outcrop Specimens</i>

The Marcellus shale is an unconventional reservoir of significant economic potential with Total Organic Carbon (TOC) ranging from 1 to 20%. Hydraulic fracturing is used to extract the shale’s resources, which requires large amounts of water and can result in mineral-rich flowback waters containing h...
