Shale oil and gas primarily exist in nanoscale pore-fracture networks. Thus, it is essential to
clarify the flow behavior of hydrocarbon in confined nanopores. This paper summarizes …

Shale gas is becoming an increasingly promising alternative energy resource because of its
high efficiency and environment-friendly characteristic. The amount of adsorbed gas on the …

The present work is to shed light on the hydration and stick–slip behavior during shear
process in interlayer region between clay sheets, because this region is the main location for …

Pore structure is an important parameter to quantify the reservoir rock adsorption capability
and diffusivity, both of which are fundamental reservoir properties to evaluate the gas …

The mechanical behavior of clayey rocks is generally sensitive to water saturation degree,
mainly due to the high content of swelling clay minerals. In this study, the mechanical …

Layered aluminosilicates play a dominant role in the mechanical and gas storage properties
of the subsurface, are used in diverse industrial applications, and serve as model materials …

An in-depth review of the available experimental and molecular simulation studies of CO2
diffusion in H2O, which is a central property in important industrial and environmental …

Clay minerals constituent an essential component of clayey rocks. Macroscopic mechanical
behaviors of those rocks can be significantly driven by local deformation and failure …

As a potential substitute for the gradually depleted conventional oil and gas resources, shale
gas is attracting increasing attention worldwide. Because of the ubiquitous nanopores in …

Density functional theory (DFT) with semiempirical dispersion corrections (DFT-D2) has
been used to calculate the binding energy of a CO2 molecule on the calcite {10.4} surface …
