气体渗流机制和渗透率演化是预测页岩储层天然气产量的重要因素。本文建立了多场耦合下的基质和裂缝的动态渗透率演化模型，并将其整合到COMSOL求解器中，并利用岩土力学和地下水流模块求解。此外，分析了基质收缩和应力敏感性对渗透率的影响。研究结果表明，孔径增大会增加页岩储层的气体渗流能力。与常规储层相比，由于气体多重流动机制，在小孔（1-10 nm）和低压（0-5 MPa）下，基质表观渗透率与达西渗透率之比高出约1-2个数量级。流动机制主要包括表面扩散，努森扩散和滑移流动。同时基质收缩和应力敏感性的综合影响导致纳米孔闭合，与基质初始渗透率相比，渗透率下降约1个数量级 ... Read More
The increasing energy demand calls for advances in technology which translate into more accurate and complex simulations of physical problems. Understanding the rock damage is essential to understanding the geomechanics of hydrocarbon reservoirs. The fragile microstructure of some ... Read More
Modeling Two-phase flow through strongly heterogeneous porous media is of importance in many disciplines including petroleum industry, hydrology etc. There are, however, still some challenges in numerical simulation of such flow problems especially the flows in fractured porous media and ...

It has been well proved that hydrogen represents a harmful element for steels because it can easily embrittle them. This phenomenon is known as Hydrogen Embrittelement (H.E.) and it leads to a serious decrease in mechanical properties especially loss of ductility. The studied material is ... Read More
The groundwater flow modelling of any typical field situation is highly complicated in terms of heterogeneity and anisotropic assumptions. In order to simplify the complexity, this poster gives the grid approach to solve the typical field problem with simple steps using GMS (MODFLOW) ... Read More
High-resolution imaging is useful in oil and gas exploration to identify producing fractures that can be in the millimeter thickness range. In principle, high-resolution imaging maybe achieved using “current injection” to measure the electrical conductivity of the formation. Two current ... Read More
CANDU® reactor pressure tubes (PT) contain D2O, which is used as a moderator. Surrounding the PTs are gas-filled Calandria Tubes (CT), which thermally isolate the PTs from the moderator surrounding the fuel channels. If the garter springs move apart, the PT will sag into the CT. Under ... Read More
The aim of this research is to contribute with the development of Carbon Capture and Storage techniques by studying carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorption mechanisms in shale reservoirs. Gas desorption is considered a major gas production mechanism and has a relevant role in shale gas ... Read More
Daily application of a low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) regimen has been shown to have positive effects on bone fracture healing. Although LIPUS treatment can induce cellular responses supporting bone repair, the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Further in vitro ... Read More
The safety assessment of the deep geological repository for nuclear waste of Olkiluoto (Finland) requires the evaluation of the influence of the land uplift (ice withdrawal) in groundwater. With this objective in mind, we have developed a three dimensional reactive transport model of ... Read More
