Viscosity of shale gas

摘要: Abstract Nanofluidics, which analyzes fluid transport through sub 100-nm conduits, has fascinated engineers in different fields and we petroleum are no exception. This field gained a significant interest engineering only when hydrocarbon production from shales became economically feasible. The basic properties of the change for this range conduit size. With mind, analyze effective gas viscosity shale at pore pressures. Our objective is not to derive detailed information about or sub-pore scale, but rather discuss implications pore-scale simulations on core scale. We use an acyclic model account connectivity space physically representative because it can capture capillary pressure measurements drainage obtained mercury intrusion experiments. present with respect nominal value, under unconfined conditions. analysis shows that reported permeability pressure-driven flow be considered property if density used interpretation. That is, have modify simultaneously our reservoir model. study major building realistic based petrophysical measurements.
