Shale reservoirs play an important role as a future energy resource of the United States.
Numerous studies were performed to describe the storage and transport of hydrocarbons …

We report the first direct measurements of methane density in shale gas using small-angle
neutron scattering. At a constant pressure, the density of methane in the inorganic pores is …

The geometry of kerogen-hosted pores partially controls storage and transport of
hydrocarbons in organic-rich mudstones (commonly referred to as shales). Although these …

Low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) coupled with gas–water centrifugation (GWC)
was performed to investigate petrophysical characteristics and water movability of the …

In unconventional shale, petroleum compounds are generated during kerogen maturation
and chemical fractionation occurs between fluids that are expelled out of kerogen and …

Three phase oil, gas, and water flow in liquid-rich shale plays is investigated in this paper,
using a state-of-the-art technique of dividing shale matrix into different sub-media. Shale …

During the last few years, production of liquid hydrocarbons has been reported from the gas-
condensate window of the Eagle Ford, Barnett, Niobrara, and Marcellus shale plays in the …

The condensation of the gas inside nanopores at pressures lower than the dewpoint
pressure, or capillary condensation, is an important physical phenomenon affecting the gas …

More and more attention has been paid to the oil and gas flow mechanisms in shale
reservoirs. The solid–fluid interaction becomes significant when the pores are in the …

This paper proposes a novel approach to model multiphase flow of hydrocarbons in
unconventional shale reservoirs. Understanding the storage/flow mechanisms from such …
