Simultaneous Energy and Water Optimisation in Shale Exploration

Simultaneous Energy and Water Optimisation in Shale Exploration

This work presents a mathematical model for the simultaneous optimisation of water and energy usage in hydraulic fracturing using a continuous time scheduling formulation. The recycling/reuse of fracturing water is achieved through the purification of flowback wastewater using thermally driven membr...
