... size distribution in shale formations is stretched down to nano-meters, the system response violates the predictions of Darcy's law. Depending on pore size and gas properties, non-Darcy flow mechanisms such as slip-flow, molecular diffusion, and Knudsen diffusion can affect the matrix deliverability...

... This paper proposes a novel approach to model multiphase flow of hydrocarbons in unconventional shale reservoirs. Understanding the storage/flow mechanisms from such reservoirs as in the Eagle Ford, Woodford, and Bakken, is crucial in the overall effort to increase the ultimate hydrocarbon...
