Significant fracture conductivity can be achieved using a much lower material cost based on the optimal partial-monolayer proppant concentration (OPPC) theory. However …
A novel multiphysics multiscale multiporosity shale gas transport (M 3 ST) model was developed to investigate shale gas transport in both transient and steady states. The …
This study focuses on the comparative study of deep learning (DL) models for pore space and discrete fracture networks (DFNs) segmentation in synthetic fractured digital rocks …
The low recovery of oil from the tight liquid-rich formations is still a main challenge for the tight reservoir. Thus, in order to break the chains and remove the obstacle such as the low …
The complexity of fluid flow in heterogeneous and fractured media has long been a focus in the energy industry. Models have been developed in an attempt to determine the effects of …
It is distinctly important to precisely detect and quantify the micro-cracks in shale rock sample, which serve as the potential fluid flow conduits. In the SEM scanning images …
