Fractional Transport Models For Shale Gas In Tight Porous Media, Nadeem A. Malik, Iftikhar Ali

Sixth International Conference on Porous Media and Its Applications in Science, Engineering and Industry

Modelling the flow of fluid through tight porous media, such as unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs, is very challenging and it is a growing sector and must be addressed. Shale gas is found in such tight porous rocks which are characterized by nano-scale size porous networks with ultra-low permeability [1,2].

Flow Of Shale Gas In Tight Rocks Using A Non-Linear Transport Model With Pressure Dependent Model Parameters, Nadeem A. Malik, Iftikhar Ali, Bilal Chanane, Ryad A. Ghanam

Sixth International Conference on Porous Media and Its Applications in Science, Engineering and Industry

A new source of energy has recently been discovered from unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs, such as shale gas deposits. Shale gas is found in tight porous rocks which are characterised by nano-scale size porous networks with ultra-low permeability [1,2]. The modelling of transport through such tight porous media is very challenging because it is a relatively new discipline and not much is known but transport processes in them, and little data is available; but it is a growing sector and must be addressed. Here, we apply a recently developed non-linear gas transport model [3], to reservoir simulations of single-phase gas through …
