Physical and biogeochemical heterogeneity dramatically impacts fluid flow and reactive
solute transport behaviors in geological formations across scales. From micro pores to …

Over the past two decades percolation theory has been used to explain and model a wide
variety of phenomena that are of industrial and scientific importance. Examples include …

Flow, transport, mechanical, and fracture properties of porous media depend on their
morphology and are usually estimated by experimental and/or computational methods. The …

The knowledge of the permeability of porous media is crucial to understand fluid flow in
various natural and artificial materials. Due to the complex nature of pore structure, the pore …

Hydrate saturation estimation in the field is mainly controlled by proper interpretations of
downhole electrical logging data based on Archie's law. However, saturation exponent …

The nano-scale pore systems of organic-rich shale reservoirs were investigated from Upper
Ordovician Wufeng and Lower Silurian Longmaxi Formations in southeast Sichuan Basin …

The Fuling gas field in Sichuan Basin, China, has produced greater than 1.5× 1010 m3 (0.53
tcf) of natural gas from overmature Upper Ordovician Wufeng and lower Silurian Longmaxi …

Relative permeability in shales is an important petrophysical parameter for purposes of
accurate estimation of production rate and recovery factor, efficient secondary recovery, and …

We present a novel approach to describe how micro-fracture closure, pore volume
compressibility, and connectivity loss change intrinsic permeability of shale formations as a …

The existing theoretical and empirical models to describe asphaltene deposition in porous
media do not consider the complicated structure of pore network. Permeability reduction due …
