Abstract
Finding an optimized adsorption model to estimate the true adsorbed quantity of methane in shale at reservoir conditions is fundamental for estimating the gas-in-place (GIP), and developing an accurate shale gas transport model. However, describing true methane adsorption behavior in shale is challenging because the density or volume of the adsorbed phase cannot be measured directly using current technology. There are several models available to describe the observed adsorption isotherms and extrapolate the true adsorbed quantity of methane, but a consensus model has not been reached by researchers. This work first revisits available absolute and Gibbs excess adsorption models for describing methane in shales. It then compares nine available adsorption models to assess the efficacy of each model in describing both high pressure and low pressure methane adsorption isotherms in shales. Three aspects of the adsorption model are compared: (1) the goodness-of-fit of each adsorption model, (2) interpretation of...
