Abstract
As an unconventional oil and gas resource, shale gas plays a very important role in global energy supply. A breakthrough in efficient exploitation of shale gas is how to accurately describe the percolation mechanism of shale gas in nano-pores. In this article, a new shale gas apparent permeability model is established on the basis of advection diffusion model and considering adsorption stress effect and gas viscosity correction. On this basis, the influence factors of apparent permeability, the comparative difference between stress effect or not and viscosity correction or not, and the contribution of gas flow mechanism are studied. The results show that: the apparent permeability decreases with the increase of pressure, increases with the increase of pore radius, and increases with the increase of temperature; when the pore radius increases, the difference caused by stress correction becomes obvious; when the pressure decreases, the difference caused by viscosity correction becomes obvious. The results can provide some new ideas and methods for the study of gas flow mechanism in microscopic nano-pores.
