Since stress from overlying strata is one of the primary factors influencing pore structure and
gas content in shale reservoirs, understanding its role is crucial for develo** shale gas …

The complex fracture networks in shale gas reservoirs bring greater challenges and
uncertainties to the modeling in reservoir evaluation. As the emerging potential technology …

We have analysed the stress sensitivity of porosity and permeability of macroscopically
intact limestone samples, from the Middle Ordovician Cobourg formation, Ontario, Canada …

As a promising supplement of China's petroleum production, the lacustrine shale, compared
with the marine shale, is characterized by higher clay mineral content, which has significant …

Gas transport processes in low-permeable (tight) sandstones at elevated pore pressures
involve a combination of fluid-dynamic (slip flow) and poro-elastic or rock-mechanical stress …

Shale gas production in the US fuelled research activities in unconventional reservoir rock
characterization. Most studies focused on organic-rich shales of marine origin, while …

Understanding water uptake and drainage in shales has important implications for both
hydrocarbon extraction and hydraulic fracturing fluid disposal. This study reports gravimetric …

High-resolution water sorption isotherms were measured on 13 representative mudrock
samples in order to assess the mechanisms of water vapour sorption and their relationship …

Shale gas is a major component of natural‐gas supply in the United States. Multistage‐
fractured horizontal wells significantly improve the production performance of ultralow …

This study presents both experimental and theoretical investigations about gas transport in
shales. Gas apparent permeability coefficients and Klinkenberg slippage factors were …
