The capillary pressure and relative permeability are the key parameters to affect the
transport properties of low-permeability reservoirs. In this paper, the Fractal-Monte Carlo …

The increasing significance of shale gas resources to the global energy supply has resulted
in an increasing need to understand shales as gas reservoirs. Shales commonly have …

Understanding the invasion and flowback processes of water, as the main source of
hydraulic fracking fluid, is crucial for the proper evaluation and development of complex gas …

The impact of rock heterogeneity on the performance of cyclic gas injection is a key element
in tight oil reservoir modeling. Dependency of relative permeability on saturation history …

Understanding the occurrence mechanism of mobile hydrocarbons is important for “sweet
spot” identification in liquid-rich shale reservoirs. This paper investigated the occurrence and …

Shale reservoirs are promising geological sites for CO 2 storage due to their high total
organic content (TOC) and the large-scale hydraulic fracturing operations. In order to …

Relative permeability is notoriously difficult to measure in the laboratory for low-permeability
rocks with permeability values in the nanodarcy/microdarcy range. The objectives of this …

We present a novel deep learning-based workflow incorporating a reduced physics model
that can efficiently visualize well drainage volume and pressure front propagation in …

In this study, we introduce a physics-based numerical optimization framework that integrates
key factors like hysteresis in gas permeability, the impact of geomechanics, and the effects of …

Substantial water production associated with oil production in unconventional plays
presents a challenge for the sustainable development of oil and gas resources. Recent …
