... of organic matter, which results in nanoconfined effects. In this work, on the basis of the boundary slip phenomenon and the fractal scaling theory, a model for oil transport in shale matrix is established considering nanoconfined effects and adsorbed organic matter. The results show that it is necessary...

... the possibility of oil and gas exploration within complex reservoirs. The technologies and workflows used for the multi-scale digital rock evaluation of complex reservoirs analyze the reservoir space (i.e., the pore throat and fractures), the rock structure (i.e., mineral and organic matter), and fluid...

... been generated, it is stored as adsorbed gas in the organic matter and in the clay minerals, as well as free gas in the shale's porosity and its fracture system (e.g., Curtis, 2002 ; Zhang et al., 2012 ). The adsorbed gas fraction can vary significantly and can range from 20% to 85% of total gas...

... reservoir rock include: triaxial test, X-ray diffraction (XRD), total organic carbon (TOC) measurements. The mineral composition is different for argillaceous shale and silty laminae shale. The static elastic properties are controlled by clay content, organic matter and porosity. In this work we evaluate...

.... The results show that Niutitang Formation shale reservoir has the potential for gas exploration and production due to organic matter rich, moderate porosity and high brittleness. The Niutitang formation is of great thickness and the total organic carbon content ranges from 0.16% to 9.15% with average of 3.56...
