Injecting carbon dioxide to enhance shale gas recovery (CO2-EGR) is a useful technique that has raised great research interests. Clear understanding of the two-component gas transport mechanisms in shale nanopores is the foundation for the efficient development of shale gas reservoir (SGR) and also the long-term geological storage of CO2. Although extensive studies on single-component gas transport and corresponding models in shale nanopores have been carried out in recent years, limited studies have been conducted on two-component or even multi-component gas transport models in shale nanopores. In this work, the shale nanopores were classified into inorganic and organic nanopores. The corresponding models for two-component gas transport were constructed. Mechanisms including Knudsen diffusion, slip flow, viscous flow, and molecular diffusion are considered in the inorganic pores. In the organic pores, due to existence of adsorption gas, surface diffusion is further considered besides the aforementioned mechanisms. Effects of pressure, temperature, fraction of organic nanopores, and gas concentration were analyzed. Results show that gas apparent permeability is negatively correlated with pressure, and positively correlated with temperature and organic nanopore fraction. As the concentration of CH4 decreases, the apparent permeability of CH4 increases continuously, while the apparent permeability of CO2 decreases. The permeability ratio of CH4 in the total permeability is negatively correlated with pressure and gas concentration ratio. Additionally, the contribution of transport mechanisms to the total gas apparent permeability has been analyzed. It is found that the surface diffusion contributes up to 5.68% to gas apparent permeability under high pressure. The contribution of molecular diffusion can reach up to 88.83% in mesopores under low pressure. Under high pressure and macropores, it contributes less than 1.41%. For all situations, the contribution of viscous flow is more than 46.36%, and its contribution can reach up to 86.07%. Results of this study not only can improve the understanding of two-component gas transport in nanochannels, but also can lay the foundation for more reliable reservoir simulation of CO2-EGR.

AbstractA vast source of methane is found in gas hydrate deposits, which form naturally dispersed throughout ocean sediments and arctic permafrost. Methane may be obtained from hydrates by exchange with hydrocarbon byproduct carbon dioxide. It is imperative for the development of safe methane extraction and carbon dioxide sequestration to understand how methane and carbon dioxide co-occupy the same hydrate structure. Pair distribution functions (PDFs) provide atomic-scale structural insight into intermolecular interactions in methane and carbon dioxide hydrates. We present experimental neutron PDFs of methane, carbon dioxide and mixed methane-carbon dioxide hydrates at 10 K analyzed with complementing classical molecular dynamics simulations and Reverse Monte Carlo fitting. Mixed hydrate, which forms during the exchange process, is more locally disordered than methane or carbon dioxide hydrates. The behavior of mixed gas species cannot be interpolated from properties of pure compounds, and PDF measurements provide important understanding of how the guest composition impacts overall order in the hydrate structure.

Abstract In this study, new experimental data using a reliable approach are reported for solid-fluid phase equilibrium of ternary mixtures of Methane-Carbon-dioxide- n-Hexadecane for 30-73 mol% CO2 and pressures up to 24 MPa. The effect of varying CO2 composition on the overall phase transition of the systems were investigated. Three thermodynamic models were used to predict the liquid phase fugacity, this includes the Peng Robison equation of state (PR-EoS), Soave Redlich-Kwong equation of state (SRK-EoS) and the Cubic plus Association (CPA) equation of state with the classical mixing rule and a group contribution approach for calculating binary interaction parameters in all cases. To describe the wax (solid) phase, three activity coefficient models based on the solid solution theory were investigated: the predictive universal quasichemical activity coefficients (UNIQUAC), Universal quasi-chemical Functional Group activity coefficients (UNIFAC) and the predictive Wilson approach. The solid-fluid equilibria experimental data gathered in this experimental work including those from saturated and under-saturated conditions were used to check the reliability of the various phase equilibria thermodynamic models.

Abstract. Requirements for understanding the relationships between ocean color and suspended and dissolved materials within the water column, and a rapidly emerging photonics and materials technology base for performing optical based analytical techniques have generated a diverse offering of commercial sensors and research prototypes that perform optical measurements in water. Through inversion, these tools are now being used to determine a diverse set of related biogeochemical and physical parameters. Techniques engaged include measurement of the solar radiance distribution, absorption, scattering, stimulated fluorescence, flow cytometry, and various spectroscopy methods. Selective membranes and other techniques for material isolation further enhance specificity, leading to sensors for measurement of dissolved oxygen, methane, carbon dioxide, common nutrients and a variety of other parameters. Scientists are using these measurements to infer information related to an increasing set of parameters and wide range of applications over relevant scales in space and time.
