Abstract Characterization and modeling of unconventional reservoirs are quite challenging
as the fluid flow through nanoporous media is not well-understood due to complexity of such …

As one of the most important energy sources in the world today, shale gas has attracted
extensive research. Numerous scholars agreed that the organic matter (OM) pores in shale …

Resolving the pore attributes of gas bearing shale formations is key to precise estimation of
the gas-storing capacity of a reservoir. Decades of research and development on the …

The pore structure and pore water of deep shale gas reservoirs are unique. Their complex
occurrence mechanism is the root cause of gas content variations, which restrict successful …

Accessibility of pore space in unconventional reservoirs is an important factor influencing
both methane storage capacity and the kinetics of methane desorption. The determination of …

The microscopic structure of the pore system in fine-grained mudrocks provides spaces for
hydrocarbon percolation, migration, and occurrence. It exhibits strong heterogeneity due to …

The treatment and management of excess sludge is a huge challenge for environmental
protection and resource utilization. In this study, the sludge-based biochar containing iron …

Tectonism caused strong deformation of the Wufeng-Longmaxi Formation in the periphery of
the Sichuan Basin, which affected the pore-fracture of the organic-rich shale and migration …

Despite being closely relevant to resource assessment and exploitation, pore structures and
methane storage behaviors of deep-marine shales remain poorly understood. In this work …

The delineation of pore size and surface area distribution and methane sorption-diffusion
capacity in gas shale reservoirs is crucial for the estimation of storage capacity, anticipating …
