The development of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling techniques has promoted the
exploitation of shale gas resources. However, using water has several potential drawbacks …

In recent years CO 2 injection in shale has been investigated with aim to enhance shale gas
recovery (ESGR) and permanently sequester CO 2. This paper reviews the state of research …

Studies on the mechanisms of shale gas adsorption are of great significance for shale gas
accumulation and reserves evaluation. In order to investigate the mechanisms of shale gas …

The concept of increased methane recovery with simultaneous CO 2 sequestration in
unconventional reservoirs like gas shales has been studied extensively. A clear …

High-pressure methane sorption isotherms were measured on selected Paleozoic and
Mesozoic organic-rich shales, considered as shale gas targets in Europe. The samples …

Nanopore structure greatly affects gas adsorption and transport in shales. Such structures in
shale samples from the Lower Cambrian strata of the Sichuan Basin of China have been …

Methane adsorption in shale is a gas–liquid–solid interaction rather than a gas–solid
interaction by considering the initial water saturation in actual condition. As an important …

Shale gas is becoming an increasingly important energy resource. In this study, the
adsorption of methane on a dry, organic-rich Alum shale sample was studied at pressures …

Understanding gas storage and transport mechanisms in shale is crucial for reservoir
evaluation and gas production forecast. The shale matrix has a complex pore structure, with …

Sorption capacities and pore characteristics of bulk shales and isolated kerogens have been
determined for immature, oil-window, and gas-window mature samples from the Lower …
