Shale oil and gas primarily exist in nanoscale pore-fracture networks. Thus, it is essential to
clarify the flow behavior of hydrocarbon in confined nanopores. This paper summarizes …

Shale contains various minerals. The occurrence behavior and flow mechanism of gas and
oil in organic matters, inorganic material and clay minerals have significant differences. In …

Different from the conventional oil reservoirs, the primary storage space of shale is
micro/nano pore networks. Moreover, the multiscale and multi-minerals characteristics of …

Nanoscale pores have been widely observed in shale plays. Within such a small scale pore,
the interaction between fluid molecules and porewall surface becomes significant, and the …

The contribution of kerogen to oil flow in shale rock is not well understood but is crucial, and
understanding the transport behaviors of oil through organic nanopores is important for …

Multiple mechanisms of oil transport in inorganic and organic nanopores of shale oil
reservoirs are still unclear and possibly more complex than those of gas transport in …

The pore-grain characteristics of shale oil reservoir rocks are complex: nano-size pore
throats, multi-scale of pore size and topology, and rich in organic matter. Generally, shale oil …

The moisture contents have significant effects on shale gas and oil adsorption and transport.
In this study, the oil–water two-phase occurrence state and fluid transport in shale inorganic …

For the effective exploration and development of shale gas, it is important to understand the
transport and adsorption mechanisms of methane, the main composition of shale gas. The …

In shale reservoirs, crude oil always involves a varying percentage of methane gas that may
greatly affect the properties and the migration behavior of crude oil. In this work, to evaluate …
