Inhibitors have evolved from their primary function of controlling swelling during hydraulic fracturing processes in shale reservoirs. This study provides a comprehensive review of recent deep eutectic solvent (DES) advancements as inhibitors in swelling inhibition techniques. The swelling inhibitory potentials and mechanisms of DESs have been studied analytically and compared to existing conventional inhibitors. The functional effects of concentration, temperature, and types of DES are explored. Data on the effect of DES on rheology, swelling, zeta potential, shale cutting recovery, surface tension, particle size distribution, XRD, and FTIR analyses are presented. Along with preparation procedures, environmental concerns and applications of DESs in several fields are discussed. This study suggests that DESs are preferable swelling inhibitors due to their inhibitory performance, cost-effectiveness, and environmental friendliness. Moreover, this review includes guidelines and recommendations for selecting and designing DES to inhibit swelling more effectively.
抑制剂已从其在页岩油藏水力压裂过程中控制膨胀的主要功能演变而来。本研究全面综述了近期深共熔溶剂（DES）作为膨胀抑制技术中抑制剂的进展。对DES的膨胀抑制潜力和机制进行了分析研究，并与现有的传统抑制剂进行了比较。探讨了DES的浓度、温度和类型的功能效应。给出了DES对流变学、膨胀、zeta电位、页岩岩屑回收率、表面张力、粒度分布、XRD和FTIR分析影响的数据。同时讨论了DES的制备方法、环境问题及其在多个领域的应用。本研究表明，DES因其抑制性能、成本效益和环境友好性而成为更优的膨胀抑制剂。此外，本综述还包括更有效地选择和设计DES以抑制膨胀的指导方针和建议。
