Recommendations about expected flowback water compositions and mobility for individual shale systems

Publication with best practice guide/recommendations about expected flow back water compositions and mobility for individual shale systems. Aim: Public dissemination of scientific recommendations for dealing with expected flow back water compositions and mobility for individual shale systems from review of best practices (mainly U.S.A. and Canada), extended with analysis of available data and model simulations to close identified knowledge gaps. Scope: Scientific recommendations for dealing with expected flow back water compositions provides guidelines for different stakeholders in shale gas activities, and aids discussions on proper technical criteria for licenses to operate.
