The impact of pore structure and adsorption behavior on kerogen tortuosity

Clement Afagwu et al.

Summary: Diffusion tortuosity is an important parameter for calculating effective gas transport coefficients in porous media. This study used molecular simulation to build a realistic kerogen structure and investigate the impact of adsorption on diffusion tortuosity in organic shale materials. The results showed that methane molecules follow tortuous pathways in kerogen, and the adsorption effect further increases the tortuosity.

The Impact of Kerogen Tortuosity on Shale Permeability

Jaber Aljaberi et al.

Summary: This study investigated the diffusion mechanism of natural gas in kerogens, finding a direct link between diffusion coefficient and kerogen porosity. Furthermore, the relationship between tortuosity and diffusivity in kerogens was explored, confirming the significant impact of diffusion processes on shale permeability at the reservoir scale.

Numerical validation of the dusty-gas model for binary diffusion in low aspect ratio capillaries

Geoffrey Vaartstra et al.

Summary: The dusty-gas model is commonly used to describe gas flows in porous media, with experiments validating its accuracy in high aspect ratio pores but lacking validation for near-unity aspect ratios. This study used direct simulation Monte Carlo to evaluate the model's accuracy for binary diffusion in low aspect ratio capillaries, finding that the model deviates by less than 3% from Monte Carlo simulations for aspect ratios >= 1, supporting its suitability for various applications in nanoporous structures.

Knudsen diffusion differs from Fickian diffusion

Jun Li et al.

Summary: The Knudsen diffusion model is accurate for long nanotubes with completely diffusive reflections, but invalid for smooth nanotubes with partly specular reflections, leading to discrepancies between measurement and theory. The implementation of Fick's first law can lead to inaccurate predictions and interpretations of gas diffusion through nanotubes, which can be avoided by using the molecular transmission probability obtained by the kinetic theory.

Petrophysics of Kerogens Based on Realistic Structures

Saad Alafnan

Summary: The research investigated the petrophysical characteristics of kerogen through molecular modeling, finding that different types and maturity levels of kerogen exhibit varying storage capacities, with type III kerogen showing the highest capacity. Additionally, within the same type of kerogen, storage capacity generally increased as maturity level increased.

Self-diffusivity of dense confined fluids

Carlos Corral-Casas et al.

Summary: This study investigates self-diffusion mechanisms in confined dense fluids under high pressure and nanoscale constraints, finding that the Bosanquet formula can provide a good description of self-diffusion in these conditions. Additionally, it shows that the Einstein self-diffusivity can still be used within Fick's law in certain circumstances.
