This review examines new techniques and applications of organic petrography in source-
rock reservoir petroleum systems that have occurred along with development of the global …

As the fastest growing energy sector globally, shale and shale reservoirs have attracted the
attention of both industry and scholars. However, the strong heterogeneity at different scales …

Microstructures and pore systems in shales are key to understanding the role of shale in
many energy applications. This study proposes a novel multi-stage upscaling procedure to …

The nano-scale pore systems of organic-rich shale reservoirs were investigated from Upper
Ordovician Wufeng and Lower Silurian Longmaxi Formations in southeast Sichuan Basin …

Accurate characterization of gas transport in shale is crucial for many industrial processes
and scientific issues, such as CO 2 sequestration in depleted shale and shale gas …

Shale is a complex rock composed of a complex mixture of matrix minerals and kerogen and
having a complex pore microstructure. The pore microstructure is highly dependent upon the …

By combining the micro-CT, SEM, FIB-SEM and FIB-HIM, a multiscale characterization
method was explored to study the pores in Wufeng-Longmaxi shale, Sichuan Basin, China …

Pore characterization in shales is challenging owing to the wide range of pore sizes and
types present. Haynesville-Bossier shale (USA) was sampled as a typical clay-bearing …

Multiphase flow behavior in the complex porous media of lacustrine shale oil is critical to the
oil production performance. Shale oil reservoir processes spatial spaces of multiscale …

A systematic investigation of multiscale pore structure in organic‐rich shale by means of the
combination of various imaging techniques is presented, including the state‐of‐the‐art …
