Imaging and image analysis of shale provides insights into the pore and fracture networks,
disposition of compositional elements, and signatures of diagenesis and fluid flow …

Shale microstructures control the capacity of the formation to store hydrocarbons and its fluid
flow. However, microstructural complexity and multiscale heterogeneity is a challenge in a …

As the typical unconventional reservoir, shale gas is believed to be the most promising
alternative for the conventional resources in future energy patterns, attracting more and …

Unravelling the transport characteristic of shale gas in actual extraction process is
significantly important to improve the gas recovery efficiency and production. But the …

Conventional flow models based on Darcy's flow physics fail to model shale gas production
data accurately. The failure to match field data and laboratory-scale evidence of non-Darcy …

The complicated nanoporous structure and significant heterogeneity of shale matrix make it
challenging to fully understand the gas transport behavior in shale. Towards this end, herein …

In shale reservoirs, spontaneous imbibition is an important mechanism of fracturing fluid
loss, which has an important impact on enhanced oil recovery and water resource demand …

Shale gas reservoirs (SGRs) have been exploited for commercial natural gas production for
the past decade and has become a major source of energy in today's world. Due to their …

The development of shale gas necessitates accurate modeling and characterization of these
complicated formations, at both small and large scales. At the small scale, the studies based …

The modeling of shale gas transport through nanopores is the basis for shale gas production
simulation. The real shale gas always consists of a series of gases, including ethane …
