On the other hand, several organic-rich mudrocks plays such as Permian basin and the Bakken, face the challenge of high volumes of water production (Whitfield 2017). The produced water from organic-rich mudrocks (both flowback and produced water) must be stored, transported, and either disposed via injection well or treated for reuse or surface discharge; which results in high cost of water management. However, the mechanism behind the high volumes of water produced or the flowback efficiency of fracturing fluid is poorly understood. The wettability of organic-rich mudrocks strongly impacts the multiphase flow properties and interaction between fracturing fluid and rock. Therefore understanding organic-rich mudrocks microstructure and its wettability is critical for understanding fracturing fluid loss, water production and for optimizing production.
