We present a novel approach to describe how micro-fracture closure, pore volume compressibility, and connectivity loss change intrinsic permeability of shale formations as a …
Shale formations demonstrate distinct characteristics, such as a wide spectrum of pore size from micro-scale to nano-scale, limited pore connectivity and ultra-low permeability. Despite …
This study introduces a novel outlook on a shale-pore system and on the potential effect of pore compressibility on the production performance. We divide porosity of the system into …
An immiscible hydrocarbon‐gas foam enhanced-oil-recovery (EOR) pilot has been designed and implemented in a hydraulically fractured tight reservoir in the Woodbine Field …
We present a novel approach to correct accessible/fluid-saturated porosity values calculated using mercury injection capillary pressure (MICP) for shale samples. On the basis of recent …
Relatively cheap and non-intrusive magnetic geophysical technique has been employed to reduce the hydrocarbon exploration uncertainty in the Middle Benue Basin which straddles …
Pore connectivity controls fluid flow in porous media. Well-established methods such as permeability measurements or mercury-injection porosimetry are used to evaluate pore …
Shale resources have distinctive characteristics compared to conventional reservoirs, including microsized pores (IUPAC definition), ultralow permeability, several gas storage …
