Mobility of compounds and flowback water composition

Report on chemical process simulation to characterize mobility of organic and inorganic compounds and prediction of flow back water composition for selected shale systems. Aim: Public dissemination of simulation results of flow back water compositions and compound mobility for European gas shales. Scope: The research contributes to optimum flow back water management by providing bounds on potential flow back water compositions for gas shales in Europe, thereby helping to minimize the impact of shale gas operations on water resources and soils.
