Experimental study on the isothermal adsorption of methane gas in natural gas hydrate argillaceous silt reservoir

Rongrong Qi et al.

Summary: This study experimentally confirmed the existence of adsorption in a hydrate reservoir and investigated the adsorption characteristics of argillaceous silt. The results showed that argillaceous silt has a weaker adsorption capacity compared to shale, but it can potentially achieve a comparable adsorption capacity under lower ambient temperatures. The modified Langmuir and Dubinin-Radushevich models were suitable for simulating argillaceous silt adsorption. The adsorption capacity of argillaceous silt was affected by moisture, but to a lesser extent than in shale.

Methane scattering on porous kerogen surfaces and its impact on mesopore transport in shale

Yichong Chen et al.

Summary: This study investigates the scattering behavior of methane molecules on realistic organic kerogen surfaces using high-fidelity molecular dynamics simulations. The results show that the tight matrix porosities have minimal effect on the scattering process. The Maxwell model accurately predicts the scattering behavior on rough kerogen surfaces, while all scattering models give similar velocity distributions for low-speed impingement due to high gas-surface accommodation.

Molecular kinetic modelling of nanoscale slip flow using a continuum approach

Baochao Shan et al.

Summary: One major challenge in describing nanoscale confined fluid flows is the lack of a boundary condition that can capture molecular-scale slip behaviors. In this study, a molecular-kinetic boundary condition is proposed to model the fluid-surface and fluid-fluid molecular interactions, and is applied to investigate nanoscale Couette and Poiseuille flows. The simulation results reveal unexpected slip behaviors, including the epitaxial layering structure of fluids and the minimum slip length. A new scaling law is proposed for the slip length to account for various physical mechanisms.

Gas Flow Models of Shale: A Review

Farzam Javadpour et al.

Summary: Conventional flow models based on Darcy's flow physics are inadequate in accurately modeling shale gas production data, leading to the proposal of various gas-flow models specifically for shale reservoirs. The microscopic pores in shale, known as nanopores, primarily associated with organic matter, contribute to a dual pore system that increases the complexity of gas flow. In addition to viscous flow, shale's permeability results in gas slippage and Knudsen diffusion, adding more flow processes beyond Darcy's law.

Summary: Fluid flow driven by capillary pressure in porous systems is a common phenomenon in nature and industry, with the classical LW equation often leading to inaccurate predictions due to assumptions that are not true for many natural situations. Recent studies have focused on modifying and extending the LW equation to improve understanding of imbibition dynamics in various porous systems. Progress in computational techniques has also helped advance research in this area.

Pore-Scale Perspective of Gas/Water Two-Phase Flow in Shale

Tao Zhang et al.

Summary: Transport behaviors of single-phase gas and single-phase water at the nanoscale deviate from the predictions of continuum flow theory, especially when both gases and liquids flow simultaneously in pores or networks of pores. A pseudopotential-based lattice Boltzmann method was developed to simulate gas/water two-phase flow at the pore scale, incorporating fluid/fluid and fluid/solid interactions to capture microscopic interactions among phases. The study demonstrated the successful application of the proposed method in modeling gas/water two-phase flow in systems like single nanopores, parallel nanopores, and nanoporous media.

Contribution quantification of nanoscale gas transport in shale based on strongly inhomogeneous kinetic model

Baochao Shan et al.

Summary: The study reveals that slip flow dominates in the bulk region while enhanced surface diffusion mainly contributes to the total mass flux in the adsorbed region of organic pores in shale nanopores. On the other hand, no slip is observed in inorganic pores, indicating significant differences in gas transport mechanisms between organic and inorganic pores, which is crucial for a better understanding of gas transport in shale gas reservoirs.

High-pressure methane adsorption behavior on deep shales: Experiments and modeling

Weijun Shen et al.

Summary: The study found that methane adsorption on deep shales is influenced by various factors, including total organic carbon content, temperature, clay minerals, and moisture content. The TOC content is positively correlated with methane adsorption capacity, while the clay mineral content is negatively correlated. Increasing temperature decreases methane adsorption capacity, but the trend may reverse at certain pressures. The presence of moisture significantly reduces methane adsorption on deep shales, with the reduction in adsorption capacity decreasing as pressure increases.

Pore-scale study of non-ideal gas dynamics under tight confinement considering rarefaction, denseness and molecular interactions

Baochao Shan et al.

Summary: This study investigates non-ideal gas flow behaviors using an Enskog-Vlasov kinetic model, taking into account the impact of gas molecule size and long-range intermolecular attractions. The findings suggest that the Boltzmann equation is not suitable for dense gas systems, but Guo's model provides more accurate results. Additionally, it is shown that the effect of long-range intermolecular attractions decreases with temperature for real gases in dense systems like tight and shale gas reservoirs.

The role of supercritical carbon dioxide for recovery of shale gas and sequestration in gas shale reservoirs

Qiao Lyu et al.

Summary: The development of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling techniques has expanded the exploitation of shale gas resources, but potential environmental issues with water usage have prompted research on supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) as an alternative stimulation fluid. SC-CO2 has shown promise in enhancing shale gas recovery and potentially sequestering CO2 in shale reservoirs, thus reducing carbon emissions. Understanding shale-CO2 interactions and the long-term effects of SC-CO2 injection is crucial for the efficiency and environmental impact of this technology.
