Caprocks are crucial for preventing CO 2 leakage in carbon storage, but the effects of
mineral dissolution and precipitation on caprock properties and CO 2 propagation remain …

The strong interactions between kerogen and CO 2 give an opportunity to enhance shale oil
recovery (EOR) by CO 2 injection, and also reduce greenhouse gas emissions through CO 2 …

A large number of nanopores and complex fracture structures in shale reservoirs results in
multi-scale flow of oil. With the development of shale oil reservoirs, the permeability of multi …

Wettability, characterized by contact angle (θ), determines fluid distribution/migration in low-
permeability ('unconventional') hydrocarbon reservoirs. However, θ is a scale-dependent …

The affinity of CO 2 to kerogen represents an opportunity to increase shale oil/gas recovery
using CO 2, and as well represents great potential for CO 2 sequestration in shale …

Spontaneous imbibition has an important influence on the well production and water cut in
shale oil development, but the imbibition mechanism in the pore structure and the influence …

In order to solve the practical problem that the reaction degree of organic matter cannot be
determined in the oil shale in-situ conversion engineering, the evolution law of oil shale …

Deep extraction of coalbed methane holds great promise in new energy development. Main
challenge is how to promote gas seepage and further enhance extraction efficiency. One of …

Based on digital cores of oil shale obtained from high-temperature steam in-situ pyrolysis
and micro-CT scanning experiments, the real structures of oil shale after pyrolysis at different …

Because natural fractures are crucial for the hydraulic stimulation and development of the
fracture network of a shale gas reservoir, understanding the influence of mineral …
