In this work, we use grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulation to study methane
adsorption in various clay nanopores and analyze different approaches to characterize the …

In conventional permeable media, once pore volume (PV) is known, the amount of fluid-in-
place can be estimated. This is because the fluid is locally homogeneous, pores are …

The swelling properties of smectite clay minerals are relevant to many engineering
applications including environmental remediation, repository design for nuclear waste …

Focusing on layered compounds at the core of materials intercalation chemistry, this
reference comprehensively explores clays and other classes of materials exhibiting the …

Shale is mainly composed of:(1) inorganic, and (2) organic materials. As an important
constituent of inorganic matter, clay minerals may affect gas-in-place of shale permeable …

The particularly difficult subject of predicting the swelling behavior of clay minerals is
addressed by a combination of molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo sampling techniques …

When drilling for oil and gas, maintaining wellbore stability is of primary importance to
reduce non-productive time and trouble cost. Shale swelling causes many problems related …

Shale is composed of two distinct permeable media:(1) inorganic, and (2) organic. Both
media may contribute to the amount of hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon species in shale …
