Overcoming the global energy crisis due to vast economic expansion with the advent of
human reliance on energy-consuming labor-saving devices necessitates the demand for …

Hydrocarbons in subsurface nanoporous media, such as shale, are promising energy
resources to compensate for the shortage of conventional reservoirs. Pore-network …

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 …

In this work, we use grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulation to study methane
adsorption in various clay nanopores and analyze different approaches to characterize the …

In conventional permeable media, once pore volume (PV) is known, the amount of fluid-in-
place can be estimated. This is because the fluid is locally homogeneous, pores are …

Because of the effect of nanoscale confinement, the phase behavior of fluids confined in
nanopores differs significantly from that observed in a PVT cell. In this paper, the cubic Peng …

In oil field development, phase behavior would influence fluid components and mobility, thus
affecting production. As a fine-grained sedimentary rock, shale brings difficulties to …

Low-pressure gas adsorption is widely used for pore size analysis of porous materials, and
has been employed to characterize pore systems in shale. However, the complexity of shale …

Shale reservoirs play an important role as a future energy resource of the United States.
Numerous studies were performed to describe the storage and transport of hydrocarbons …

Shale/tight gas plays an increasingly important role to meet the growing global energy
demand and reduce carbon emissions. Unlike conventional reservoirs, shale formations are …
