Analysis of gas transport behavior in organic and inorganic nanopores based on a unified apparent gas permeability model

Abstract Different from the conventional gas reservoirs, gas transport in nanoporous shales is complicated due to multiple transport mechanisms and reservoir characteristics. In this work, we presented a unified apparent gas permeability model for real gas transport in organic and inorganic nanopore...
