Permeability evolution of shale during spontaneous imbibition [PDF]

Journal of Natural Gas Science and Engineering, 2017
Abstract Shales have small pore and throat sizes ranging from nano to micron scales, low porosity and limited permeability. The poor permeability and complex pore connectivity of shales pose technical challenges to (a) understanding flow and transport mechanisms in such systems and, (b) in predicting permeability changes under dynamic saturation ...

Pore scale numerical investigation of counter-current spontaneous imbibition in multi-scaled pore networks

Petroleum, 2023
The multi-scaled pore networks of shale or tight reservoirs are considerably different from the conventional sandstone reservoirs. After hydraulic fracturing treatment, the spontaneous imbibition process plays an important role in the productivity of the

Analytical spontaneous imbibition model for confined nanofractures [PDF]

Journal of Geophysics and Engineering, 2020
Abstract The capillary spontaneous imbibition length of slick water in confined rectangular cross-sectional nanofractures is investigated in this paper. In the established model, the effective slip length, effective viscosity, wettability and nanofracture size are incorporated into the modified Hagen–Poiseuille equation.

Ion‑Mediated Structural Engineering of Hydrogel Interfaces for Tunable Mechanical and Analyte Diffusion Properties in Electrochemical Biosensors

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
An ion‐mediated structural engineering strategy enables versatile modulation of PVA–Alginate hydrogel microstructure. We systematically examine how different ion combinations affect hydrogel mechanical properties and analyte diffusivity. Applying this novel strategy to hydrogel as the outer membrane in an electrochemical glucose biosensor allows ...

Gut Microbiota‐Derived Anandamide Mediates the Therapeutic Effects of Urolithin A on Alcohol‐Induced Cognitive and Social Dysfunction via CB1R‐DRD2‐RAP1 Signaling Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that Urolithin A (UA) counteracts alcohol‐induced cognitive and social dysfunction (AICSD) via a gut microbiome‐dependent mechanism. UA‐enriched Bacteroids sartorii and Parabacteroids distasonis elevate anandamide (AEA), which activates the CB1R‐DRD2‐Rap1 signaling cascade to drive synaptic repair and reduce neuroinflammation ...

Roughening dynamics of spontaneous radial imbibition

, 2015
We performed an experimental observation on the spontaneous imbibition of water in a porous media in a radial Hele-Shaw cell and confirmed Washburn's law, where r is distance and t is time. Spontaneous imbibition with a radial interface window followed scaling dynamics when the front invaded into the porous media.

Remimazolam Ameliorates Autistic‐Like Behaviors via Suppression of Ferroptosis in VTA Dopaminergic Neurons in a Mouse Model of ASD

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The ultra‐short‐acting sedative remimazolam has a sustained therapeutic effect on the core symptoms of VPA‐exposed mice. Remimazolam, a GABA agonist, exerts its therapeutic effects by protecting dopamine neurons in the VTA of VPA‐exposed mice. Meanwhile, ferroptosis is the critical mechanism by which remimazolam protects VTA dopaminergic neurons and ...

Spontaneous imbibition of modified salinity brine into different lithologies: an improvement of comprehensive scaling used for fractured reservoir simulation

Journal of Petroleum Exploration and Production Technology
Spontaneous water imbibition into matrix blocks can be a significant oil recovery mechanism in fractured reservoirs. Many enhanced oil recovery methods, such as injection of modified salinity brine, are proposed for improving spontaneous imbibition ...
