Multiscale Fluid Flow and Transport in Organic-Rich Shale
Abstract
The chapter begins with a literature review on different techniques used for fluid flow and transport simulation in shale reservoirs. Next, a multicontinuum approach is explained in more detail and new formulations developed based on this approach for single-phase gas transport in multiscale pore structure of shale are presented. The discussion is extended to matrix and fracture interactions. Then, two-phase coexistence of fluid in shale reservoirs is considered and techniques to measure interfacial tension and capillary pressure and wettability are presented. Lastly, difficulties on measuring these properties, the effect of shale pore-wall confinements on these properties, ...
