“…Hence, the study concluded that magnetic catalysts could be added in the thermal treatment of source rocks. Similar studies were conducted by Kovaleva et al [46] on source rock samples from the Bazhenov and Domanik formations. The study highlighted the difference in heating rates based on the electromagnetic field type.…”

Shale and tight oil reservoirs, with horizontal wells and hydraulic fractures, typically have a recovery ratio of around 10%. The exploration of tight oil and shale in North America has proven economically viable, thanks to advancements, such as horizontal wells, hydraulic fracturing, and other enhanced oil recovery techniques. Taking inspiration from the global experience (the North American shale experience), the exploration and development of the West Siberian tight and shale reserves was more focused on the reported best practices of the exploration of North American shale. In this study, the advance in the specific areas of shale and tight oil exploration was considered, with more emphasis placed on the progress in the exploration of West Siberian shales. According to the review literature, thermal enhanced recovery methods capable of converting organic matter into hydrocarbons were studied more than other methods of enhanced oil recovery. Aligned with global trends, there has been a growing focus on research aiming to integrate data-driven approaches and pore-scale simulations to enhance recovery from tight and shale formations. Multiple pilot studies have showcased promising prospects for implementing multistage hydraulic fracturing. Nevertheless, there are limited pilot studies dedicated to enhanced oil recovery methods for West Siberian shale.

“…In the pursuit of enhancing microwave-assisted mineral processing, there is a pivotal need for concerted research efforts aimed at the development of holistic modeling frameworks. These comprehensive models are anticipated to deliver precise predictions of mineral responses within microwave fields, thereby facilitating the implementation of highly refined processing optimizations that are meticulously tailored to the distinct characteristics of specific ores [63,64]. Such an initiative necessitates the integration of the latest advancements in modeling and simulation technologies, setting the stage for the creation of microwave-treatment processes that are not only more effective but also markedly more energy-efficient.…”

“…The influence of thermal treatment on the Domanik Formation was studied by Gafurova et al [23,24], Kovaleva et al [25], and Nasyrova et al [26]. The authors found that a change in the pore space and an increase in porosity occurs when the samples are heated, as a result of the transformation of organic matter and fracturing of the rock.…”

The study of organic-rich carbonate-containing shales after heating is an important task for the effective application of in-situ thermal kerogen conversion technologies implemented for these types of rocks. This research was conducted to study changes in the rocks of the Domanik Formation after high-temperature treatment, taking into account the nature of structural changes at the micro level and chemical transformations in minerals. The sample of organic-rich carbonate-containing shales of the Domanik Formation was treated in stages in a pyrolizer in an inert atmosphere in the temperature range of 350–800 °C for 30 minutes at each temperature. By means of X-ray powder diffractometry (XRPD), HAWK pyrolysis, light and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and computed micro-tomography, the characteristics of the rock before and after each heating stage were studied. The results showed significant alteration of the mineral matrix in the temperature range 600–800 °C, including the decomposition of minerals with the formation of new components, and structural alterations such as fracturing micropore formation. The organic matter (OM) was compacted at T = 350–400 °C and fractured. The evolution of void space includes fracture formation at the edges between rock components, both in organic matter and in minerals, as well as nanopore formation inside the carbonate mineral matrix. The results obtained show what processes at the microlevel can occur in carbonate-containing organic-rich shales under high-temperature treatment, and how these processes affect changes in the microstructure and pore space in the sample. These results are essential for modeling and the effective application of thermal EOR in organic-rich shales.
