Organic matter (OM)-hosted pores are important constituents of the pore system of black
shales and play a crucial role in determining their methane adsorption capacity and porosity …

Shale reservoirs are extensively exploited using hydraulic fracturing, which forms multiple
cracks that connect with the existing natural fractures to create a continuous path for the gas …

The exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbon resources within coal and shale reservoirs
is an engineering challenge. Well-developed internal micro-pore structures, complex …

Physisorption can contribute to hydrogen subsurface storage. However, hydrogen
physisorption at the surface of geological samples is mostly unknown. We are unaware of …

Diffusion tortuosity is an important microstructural parameter for computing effective gas
transport coefficients in porous media. In this study, a realistic kerogen structure was built to …

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 …

The pore structure characteristics of shales are controlled by their mineralogical and organic
matter (OM) compositions. However, the contributions by different components in shales at …

A significant amount of the natural gas in shale formations is contained in the micro-and
mesopores as dissolved (absorbed) phase and on the surfaces of associated microcracks …

Clarifying shale gas adsorption mechanism and establishing a reliable shale gas adsorption
model are the basis of evaluating shale gas geological reserve and studying flow theory, so …

Abstract Nanoparticles (NPs) in the Earth surface systems have been a global concern due
