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 …

As the typical unconventional reservoir, shale gas is believed to be the most promising
alternative for the conventional resources in future energy patterns, attracting more and …

Shale gas is a promising alternative energy due to the advantages of large reserves and
high energy efficiency. The amount of adsorbed gas in shale nanopores is a significant …

Imaging and image analysis of shale provides insights into the pore and fracture networks,
disposition of compositional elements, and signatures of diagenesis and fluid flow …

Unravelling the transport characteristic of shale gas in actual extraction process is
significantly important to improve the gas recovery efficiency and production. But the …

The physics of gas transport through shale systems remains ambiguous. Although several
theoretical and experimental studies have been reported, most concentrate only on the …

The complicated nanoporous structure and significant heterogeneity of shale matrix make it
challenging to fully understand the gas transport behavior in shale. Towards this end, herein …

The transport mechanism of methane gas through the nanopores is a fundamental concern
in the shale gas extraction. Shale gas is mainly stored in nanopores of shale formations over …

Reliable prediction of gas recovery from shale formations is essential for achieving the full
potential of shale gas. A distinguishing feature of shales is that nanoscale pores dominate …
