Abstract Shale-gas plays have gained significant importance in China. Sichuan Basin, industry's primary focus for shale gas, has finished hundreds of wells. The employed drilling fluids horizontal wells here are mostly oil-based muds (OBMs), due to its well-known excellent performance and the considerable geologic structural complexity. With implementation new national environmental law, application OBMs will be limited. A pressing goal is develop a high-performance environmental-friendly...

Abstract Reverse osmosis (RO) is currently the most important desalination technology and it experiencing significant growth. However, developments of membrane permselectivity in past decade have been relatively slow, fouling remains a severe problem. The excellent water transport properties biological membranes with specialized transmembrane proteins aquaporins as water-selective channels exceed those commercial for desalination. Supported phospholipid bilayers (SPBs) can maintain activity...
