CO 2 injection is a promising method to rejuvenate the shale oil reservoirs after the primary
production. In this work, we comprehensively reviewed the CO 2 injection enhanced oil …

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

Many currently producing shale-gas reservoirs are overmature oil-prone source rocks.
Through burial and heating these reservoirs evolve from organic-matter-rich mud deposited …

We study the gas flow processes in ultra-tight porous media in which the matrix pore network
is composed of nanometre-to micrometre-size pores. We formulate a pressure-dependent …

Hydraulic fracturing of unconventional oil/gas shales has changed the energy landscape of
the US Recovery of hydrocarbons from tight, hydraulically fractured shales is a highly …

The theory of linear poroelasticity describes the interaction between mechanical effects and
adding or removing fluid from rock. It is critical to the study of such geological phenomena as …

This monograph deals with the part of the field of experimental rock deformation that is
dominated by the phenomena of brittle fracture on one scale or another. Thus a distinction …

Permeability and diffusivity are critical parameters of tight reservoir rocks that determine their
viability for commercial development. Current methods for measuring permeability and/or …

A theoretically improved model incorporating the relevant mechanisms of gas retention and
transport in gas-bearing shale formations is presented for determination of intrinsic gas …

Characterising the pore structure of gas shales is of critical importance to establish the
original gas in place and flow characteristics of the rock matrix. Methods of measuring pore …
