Insights into shale gas adsorption and an improved method for characterizing adsorption isotherm from molecular perspectives

Xiaofei Hu et al.

Summary: Gas adsorption behavior in complex nanoporous media in shale plays a crucial role in evaluating the gas in place (GIP) and exploration. In this study, a multi-size interconnected pore model based on the veritable pore structure characterization is proposed. The grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations are used to investigate methane adsorption behavior in organic matter and inorganic clay minerals with multi-size pores. The results reveal the effects of diverse media surfaces and variable pore sizes on methane adsorption behavior and explore the complex adsorption behaviors in shale nanopores. Moreover, an improved method for calibrating the gas adsorption isotherms in shale is proposed considering multiple factors from a molecular perspective. The findings of this study enhance the understanding of gas adsorption mechanisms in complex nanoporous structures and provide a reliable approach to evaluate the GIP in shale.
