| description | This investigation ventures into the nuanced porosity traits of shallow shale gas reservoirs, pinpointing the critical determinants of their gas content with a nuanced touch. By harnessing sophisticated microscopy and analytical methods, we embarked on an exploration into the porosity architecture of shale, identifying the distinct pore spaces that harbor shale gas and applying gas adsorption techniques to evaluate its storage potential. Noteworthy is our utilization of diverse adsorption mechanisms and models to accurately fit methane adsorption data while carefully considering the influence of marine shallow shale’s pore structure peculiarities, total organic carbon (TOC) content, and clay mineral content on its adsorption prowess. We introduce a refined model for appraising gas adsorption volumes, an innovative stride toward bolstering the precise estimation of reserves in marine dam shallow shale gas and shedding light on accurate gas adsorption volume calculations in analogous shallow shale gas scenarios. This manuscript offers profound insights into the sophisticated interplay between shale porosity and gas storage, enriching our understanding and enabling more accurate future resource estimations. |
