In recent years CO 2 injection in shale has been investigated with aim to enhance shale gas
recovery (ESGR) and permanently sequester CO 2. This paper reviews the state of research …

This review examines new techniques and applications of organic petrography in source-
rock reservoir petroleum systems that have occurred along with development of the global …

Quantitative characterization of nanopore structure is of great importance for both accurate
assessment of gas reservoir capacity and gas migration behaviors. In this work, atomic force …

Shale gas exploration has gained tremendous attention worldwide, because of the
successful development and progress in exploitation technology in the North American and …

One of the primary drivers of global warming is the exponential increase in CO2 emissions.
According to IPCC, if the CO2 emissions continue to increase at the current rate, global …

Quartz cementation is critical to shale reservoir properties, including porosity and
geomechanical properties. Due to the small size of constituting components, our …

The pore structure of mudrocks is a key characteristic to evaluate flow behavior through
these rocks. Although significant advances have been made to resolve pore characteristics …

Low-resistance shale reservoirs have prospected in many high-mature shale gas plays with
distinct yields. It is worth investigating the reasons for the difference in the production of low …
