The effect of Knudsen diffusion and adsorption on shale transport in nanopores

Shale transport properties are investigated by numerical simulations of a simple, physics-based continuum model. Shale samples from the Yanchang Triassic Formation in Ordos Basin are tested to get the pore volume distribution of shale. Due to the existence of nanopores in shale reservoirs, there are...
