Scientists studying Jurassic rocks in China found that cyclical changes in Earth's orbit affected not only the climate, but ...

Shale is physically and chemically complex at all scales of interest. Multimodal, multiscale imaging, and characterization allows researchers to study how to control the transport and reactivity of ...

Researchers find that Earth’s orbital rhythms influenced sediment and organic preservation in Jurassic shale deposits.

You’ve seen a model of the solar system, with all eight planets (R.I.P. Pluto) revolving around the sun in tidy orbits, but ...

A new method, developed in the United States, could help improve oil output from the tightly packed formations of shale rock. Developed by researchers at Pennsylvania State University, the new oil ...

Cyclic carbon dioxide injection, also known as "CO2 huff-n-puff," is a multi-phase process in which CO2 is pumped into a reservoir to enhance oil production from naturally occurring rock formations.

In Colorado’s Parachute Canyon not far from Grand Junction, the seed of an oil revolution was planted. Union Oil Co. of California last week fired up a $7,000,000 prototype retort to produce oil from ...

Never bet against America’s oil and natural gas engineers. About two decades ago, these engineers delivered the shale oil and natural gas revolution. After many years of trying to figure out how to ...
