Klinkenberg Effect and Effective Pressure for Gas Permeability of Tight Sandstones

Journal Article Xiao, Wenlian ; Bernabé, Yves ; Evans, Brian ; ... - Journal of Geophysical Research. Solid Earth

Gas permeability k_g of tight sandstones was measured while cycling pore pressure, Pf, and confining pressure, P_c, using two different procedures. Firstly, we cycled the pore pressure from a minimum value close to atmospheric pressure to a maximum one slightly lower than P_c, while keeping the Pc constant. Secondly, P_f and P_c were simultaneously varied so as to keep the difference, P_c - P_f, constant. Significant effects owing to slip flow were observed when the gas pressure was lower than about 5 MPa. Klinkenberg plots showed that, under constant P_c, gas permeability kg decreased linearly for high values of 1/P_f,more »« less

Apparent permeability prediction of organic shale with generalized lattice Boltzmann model considering surface diffusion effect

Journal Article Wang, Junjian ; Chen, Li ; Kang, Qinjun ; ... - Fuel

Gas flow in shale is associated with both organic matter (OM) and inorganic matter (IOM) which contain nano-pores ranging in size from a few to hundreds of nano-meters. In addition to the non-continuum effect which leads to an apparent permeability of gas higher than the intrinsic permeability, the surface diffusion of adsorbed gas in organic pores also can influence the apparent permeability through its own transport mechanism. In this study, a generalized lattice Boltzmann model (GLBM) is employed for gas flow through the reconstructed shale matrix consisting of OM and IOM. The Expectation–Maximization (EM) algorithm is used to assign themore »« less

The impacts of effective stress and CO₂ sorption on the matrix permeability of shale reservoir rocks [The impacts of CO₂ sorption and effective stress on the matrix permeability of shale reservoir rocks]

Journal Article Wu, Wei ; Zoback, Mark D. ; Kohli, Arjun H. - Fuel

We assess the impacts of effective stress and CO₂ sorption on the bedding-parallel matrix permeability of the Utica shale through pressure pulse-decay experiments. We first measure permeability using argon at relatively high (14.6 MPa) and low (2.8 MPa) effective stresses to assess both pressure dependence and recoverability. We subsequently measure permeability using supercritical CO₂ and again using argon to assess changes due to CO₂ sorption. We find that injection of both argon and supercritical CO₂ reduces matrix permeability in distinct fashion. Samples with permeability higher than 10^–20 m² experience a large permeability reduction after treatment with argon, but a minormore »« less
