Abstract

Summary Understanding hydrocarbon flow, migration and phase behavior in nanoporous media is critical for the sustainability and continued growth of unconventional oil/gas production. In this work, we combine experimental characterization and observations, particularly using small-angle neutron scattering, with pore-scale modeling using lattice Boltzmann method, to examine the fluid behavior and fluid-solid interactions in nanopores at reservoir pressuretemperature conditions. Integration between laboratory measurements and numerical calculations will facilitate our understanding of nanoscale fluid behavior with the ultimate goal of developing better production strategies for unconventional reservoirs.
