is a well stimulation technique involving the fracturing of bedrock formations by a pressurized liquid.
Example: "It's important to note that shale formations, particularly those liquid-rich-organic-rich (LROR) ones that undergo hydraulic fracturing are the target for both CO2-enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and storage".

Layer
noun
A "strata" or a rock bed that is distinguishable from adjacent beds by its unique properties and visual appearance.
Example: "..a sample from the Bakken Formation in North Dakota, which is a target layer for both enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and storage of CO2, was incubated..."

Specimen
noun
A synonym for "sample"
Example: "The tests are performed on the dark amorphous kerogen and matrix separately and the tested specimen is observed using an Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)".

Thermal treatment
noun
an effective technology to remove organic contaminants from soil by volatilization and/or destruction. In Petroleum engineering it is used to mature kerogen and examine samples via modeling the natural conditions of a deposit in a laboratory.
Example: "The formation of pore space during the treatment is critical during the implementation of thermal enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technologies in shales for fluid flow, and a mandatory aspect that should be accounted during thermal EOR simulations".**
