Nanoconfined Gas Flow Behavior in Organic Shale: Wettability Effect by Shan Wu, Xiaorui Wang, Ying Yu, Yao Yu, Liang Zhang, Ran Mao

“…Results show that (a) the gas flux in small nanopores may exceed that in large nanopores, due to the predominant role of surface diffusion, while pore size is less than 10 nm; (b) the absence of real gas effect will lead to inaccurate characterization of nanoconfined gas flow capacity, and the magnitude can reach 7% for pore size of 5 nm and will enlarge with further pore size shrinkage; (c) wettability effect governs the total gas flux when pore size is less than 10 nm, while its impact will be greatly mitigated when pore size is greater than 50 nm. …”
