Effects of Anisotropy and CO2 Wettability on CO2 Storage Capacity in Sandstone by Jun Young Song, Yeon Jong Jeong, Tae Sup Yun

“…The CO2 storage capacity is often characterized by the capillary pressure curve, which in turn depends on the pressure and temperature of the injected CO2 and the internal structure of the reservoir rocks. The key structural feature that influences the storage capacity in porous rocks is their inherent anisotropy. …”

Theoretical Modeling of Dielectric Properties of Artificial Shales by Tongcheng Han, Roman Beloborodov, Marina Pervukhina, Matthew Josh, Yanlin Cui, Pengyao Zhi

“…Accurately modeling the anisotropic dielectric properties of shales is important for the interpretation of dielectric data acquired from shales as source rocks and unconventional reservoirs. We have developed a multiphase incremental model for the frequency dependent anisotropic dielectric properties of sedimentary rocks and presented an approach based on the developed model to simulate the measured anisotropic dielectric behaviors of artificial shales. …”

New Insight into the Kinetics of Deep Liquid Hydrocarbon Cracking and Its Significance by Wenzhi Zhao, Shuichang Zhang, Bin Zhang, Kun He, Xiaomei Wang

“…In this study, nonisothermal gold tube pyrolysis and numerical calculations as well as geochemical analysis were conducted to ascertain the expulsion efficiency of source rocks and the kinetics for oil cracking. By determination of light liquid hydrocarbons and numerical calculations, it is concluded that the residual bitumen or hydrocarbons within source rocks can occupy about 50 wt.% of total oil generated at oil generation peak. …”
