Using Capillary Condensation and Evaporation Isotherms to Investigate Confined Fluid Phase Behavior in Shales
The abundance of nanopores (pores with diameters between 2 and 100 nm) in shale and ultra-tight reservoirs precludes the use of common pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) analyses on reservoir fluids. The small sizes of the pores cause capillary condensation, which is a nanoconfinement-induced gas-to-...
