In the process of CO2 geological sequestration, there is a risk that CO2 will leak into groundwater, resulting in a series of physical and chemical reactions, with influence on chemical compositions of groundwater. In this work, numerical simulation…
The microscopic understanding of adsorption and storage of CO2 in minerals is of great significance for large-scale geological storage of CO2. The behaviors of the H2O CO2 system absorbed on the kaolinite surfaces with oscillating and static…
This study investigates the ability of hydrogen (H2) to wet clay surfaces in the presence of brine, with implications for underground hydrogen storage in clay-containing reservoirs. Rather than measuring contact angles directly with hydrogen gas, a…
A better understanding of the nature of crude oil compounds that preferentially interact with certain types of solids is essential to visualize solutions to challenges in oil fields, such as enhancing the oil recovery factor, via wettability…
During geological CO2 storage traditionally CO2 is injected subsurface into a high permeability reservoir capped by a low permeability seal to trap the buoyant supercritical plume. Wastewater from oil and gas production is also currently disposed of…
Ten sandstone samples were chosen to conduct rock pore structure change law experiment before and after injection and production and the NMR fluid test experiment, the changes of pore size, permeability, and space filling degree were compared and…
It is crucial to determine the sequence of reservoir tightening and hydrocarbon accumulation for analyzing the accumulation dynamics, oil migration mode, and oil distribution pattern of tight oil reservoirs. The tight sandstone reservoirs in the Fuyu…
Clay–oil interaction in unconventional shale reservoir plays a critical role in oil migration, which further governs the exploration of petroleum resource. In this study, interaction strength between kaolinite and different oil fractions (saturates,…
