Effect of Permeability Anisotropy on the Production of Multi-Scale Shale Gas Reservoirs

Shales or mudstones are fine grained and layered reservoirs, which leads to strong shale permeability anisotropy. Shale has a wide pore-size distribution, and pores with different diameters contribute differently to the apparent permeability of shales. Therefore, understanding the anisotropy of mult...
