The knowledge of the permeability of porous media is crucial to understand fluid flow in
various natural and artificial materials. Due to the complex nature of pore structure, the pore …

The migration and interaction of water and gas in coal plays an important role in achieving
high-performance recovery of coalbed methane (CBM). While a significant amount of …

The rates of mineral dissolution reactions in porous media are difficult to predict, in part
because of a lack of understanding of mineral reactive surface area in natural porous media …

Underground natural gas energy storage (UNGNS) plays an important role in ensuring the
reliability of the pipeline equipment and the stability of the energy market. In this paper, a …

We report the effect of rank and lithotype on the wettability of coal in microfluidic experiments
in two types of artificial microchannels:(1) reactive ion etched (RIE) channels and (2) die …

Wettability alteration appears to be an important mechanism for low salinity water flooding,
but two major challenges in predicting the low salinity effect are (1) to understand the …

To advance the modeling of low and ultralow permeability reservoirs, this research
innovatively introduces new relative permeability models that incorporate water film effects …

We systematically explore the role of magnesite distribution patterns in dictating its
dissolution rates under an array of flow velocity and permeability contrast conditions using …

The thickness of the water film on minerals is key for a quantitative understanding of mass
transport and reaction in porous media under air entrapment. How the film thickness …

Production data of coalbed methane have shown that coalbed may be wet for a long time
after the completion of water flow and water–gas two-phase flow stages. In this period, water …
