Competitive adsorption of hydrocarbon mixtures (C 1-C 2-C 3) as well as CO 2 in shale
nanopores is of critical importance to CO 2 enhanced shale gas recovery. While …

Mixed wet pores are abundant in shales, yet there is little to no information on the behavior
of fluids confined within pores characterized by one hydrophilic and one hydrophobic …

Despite promising natural gas huff 'n'puff (HnP) field-pilot results, the dominant oil-recovery
mechanisms during this process are poorly understood. We conduct systematic natural-gas …

The production of gas and oil from the unconventional tight and shale reservoirs is the
outcome through a series of cooperative efforts of drilling, completion, and production …

Petroleum wells produce a combination of oil, gas, and water in what is called a multiphase
flow. This mixture is transported through flowlines to a tank separator that isolates and …

Petroleum resource assessment using reservoir volumetric approach relies on porosity and
oil/gas saturation characterization by laboratory tests. In liquid-rich resource plays, the pore …

Organic matters in source rocks store oil in significantly larger volume than that based on its
pore volume (PV) due to so-called nanoconfinement effects. With pressure depletion and …

Various unified gas flow (UGF) and apparent permeability models have been proposed to
characterize the complex gas transport mechanisms in shale formations. However, such …

Significant research has been conducted on hydrocarbon fluids in the organic materials of
source rocks, such as kerogen and bitumen. However, these studies were limited in scope to …

This paper reports the findings on the major factors affecting the hydrocarbon productivity
and ultimate resource recovery from the liquid-rich Duvernay Shale play in the Fox Creek …
