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 …

The breakthrough pressure of tight rocks is a critical parameter in the geological storage of
CO 2 and the extraction of unconventional natural gas resources. Breakthrough pressure …

Although well logs and core data show that there is significant oil content in Bakken shales,
the oil transport behavior in these source rocks is still not well understood. This lack of …

Smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) is an evolving computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
method. With time, it illustrates a great extent of its capabilities to be considered a practical …

Given that the interfacial tension (IFT) of the CO 2/brine system is a critical parameter in
geological CO 2 storage (GCS), this paper presents a systematic review of the present …

Shale oil production has increased rapidly in the past decades, especially in the United
States, and results in a revolution in the energy landscape. However, one main problem …

Breakthrough pressure of CH 4 is an important parameter in shale gas exploitation and the
evaluation of cap rocks. To date, many studies have been carried out to investigate CH 4 …

Unconventional geo-resources are critical due to their important contributions to energy
production. In this energy transition and sustainability era, there is an increased focus on …

In tight gas reservoirs, permeability is pressure dependent owing to pore pressure reduction
during the life of the reservoir. Empirical models are commonly used to describe pressure …

As an important unconventional and alternative resource, shale gas has attracted worldwide
attention. The breakthrough pressure is a major factor in the generation and migration of …
