Effects of Water-Rock Interaction

on Organics: Implications for

Hydraulic Fracturing Fluid

Engineering

I am working on a project that assesses the effects of hydraulic fracturing fluids on organic compounds. When fluids are injected into the subsurface from processes like hydraulic fracturing or CO 2   sequestration they significantly alter the mineralogy and geochemistry. Despite the research done in the past with hydraulic fracturing, few studies have been conducted on the presence of organics in produced water from shales which had undergone hydraulic fracturing. Therefore, the goal of my project is to better understand the fate of organic compounds once they interact with fluids from hydraulic fracturing or CO 2  injection. It has potential to not only improve well production but also reduce costs in wastewater treatment and evironmental contamination.
