Fluid flow and mass transport in geological materials are crucial in diverse Earth science
applications. To fully understand the behavior of geological materials in this context, the …

Hydrocarbon production, gas recovery from shale, CO2 storage and water management
have a common scientific underpinning: multiphase flow in porous media. This book …

High-resolution images provide detailed information about pores whose characteristic sizes
are usually on the order of few nanometers to micrometers in shales, but it remains …

D X-ray micro-CT (XCT) is a non-destructive 3-D imaging method, increasingly used for a
wide range of applications in Earth Science. An optimal XCT image-processing workflow is …

Existing conventional measurements face challenges in characterizing transport properties
of a shale because they are designed originally for formations with relatively wide pores and …

The movements of fluid–fluid interfaces and the common curve are an important aspect of
two-fluid-phase flow through porous media. The focus of this work is to develop, apply and …

This paper presents an original algorithm to simulate quasi-static loading of fluid-saturated
porous material for numerical upscaling of the complex fluid-saturated fractured-porous …

Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) is increasingly utilized to image the pore network
and to derive petrophysical properties in combination with modelling software. The effect of …

Physically representative network models have been used for years for investigating pore-
scale behavior in porous materials. However, the technology has remained largely in the …

Frequency-dependent seismic attenuation can be applied to indicate transport properties of
fractured media and fluid mobility within it. In particular, wave-induced fluid flow (WIFF) …
