Cover image by Junping Zhou on pages 180-194. The image illustrates that CO2 injection into a shale gas reservoir not only disrupts the thermo-hydro-mechanical equilibrium but also induces geochemical reactions leading to mineral dissolution and weakened mechanical properties, which in turn affect the interactions among various physical fields. Consequently, accounting for the thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical coupling effects is crucial for assessing the efficiency of CO2-enhanced shale gas recovery.
