Tight sandstone reservoirs typically contain a wide pore throat sizes ranging from the nano-
scale to micro-scale, and have complex pore geometry and pore throat structure …

Unconventional natural gas has become an important source of energy. However, the
development of such resources has been challenging as these reservoirs are characterised …

Shale gas is an important unconventional natural gas resource existing in shale reservoir
with huge reserves. Due to the ultralow porosity and permeability, it requires the horizontal …

Shales deposited in marine–continental transitional environments are well developed in the
Upper Paleozoic in China with abundant gas resources. The pore structure and its …

Nanopore structure greatly affects gas adsorption and transport in shales. Such structures in
shale samples from the Lower Cambrian strata of the Sichuan Basin of China have been …

Predicting long-term production from gas shale reservoirs has been a major challenge for
the petroleum industry. To better understand how production profiles are likely to evolve with …

The hydrocarbon resources of shale gas and tight oil have made a significant impact on
North American energy reserves over the past decade. The production of so-called …

Abstract Although Lower Silurian black shales within and around the Sichuan Basin have
received renewed attention during the past few years because of their potential prospectivity …

Abstract The Chang-7 of the Upper Triassic Yanchang Formation in the Xiasiwan area,
located in the southwest of the Ordos Basin in central China, was investigated for its shale …

Pore structure has a significant effect on the occurrence state of shale hydrocarbons and the
hydrocarbon storage capability of shale reservoirs. Consequently, it is quite meaningful to …
