Abstract:How liquids transport
in the shale system has been the focus because
of fracturing fluid loss. In this study, a single-nanopore model is
established for liquid transport in shale while considering the slip
effect and effective viscosity of confined fluids. Then, the fractal
Monte Carlo (FMC) model is proposed to upscale the single-pore model
into shale porous media. The effects of different transport mechanisms,
shale wettability, and pore characteristic parameters on confined
liquid flow in shale rock are inv… Show more
