Two-scale analysis of a tight gas sandstone
Tight gas sandstones are low porosity media, with a very small permeability (i.e., below 1 mD). Their porosity is below 10%, and it is mainly composed of fine noncemented microcracks, which are present between neighboring quartz grains. While empirical models of permeability are available, their predictions, which do not compare well with macroscopic ...

The application of fractal dimension on capillary pressure curve to evaluate the tight sandstone [PDF]
The rock of gas tight reservoir is more heterogeneous than that of conventional sandstone reservoir and is more prone to water-blockage because of the invasion of operation fluid.

Preferential Paths of Air-water Two-phase Flow in Porous Structures with Special Consideration of Channel Thickness Effects. [PDF]
Accurate understanding and predicting the flow paths of immiscible two-phase flow in rocky porous structures are of critical importance for the evaluation of oil or gas recovery and prediction of rock slides caused by gas-liquid flow.

Coupled thermal−gas−mechanical (TGM) model of tight sandstone gas wells [PDF]
The mechanism of CO2 fracturing under coupled thermal−gas−mechanical (TGM) conditions is important for gas production in tight sandstone gas wells. In this study, a coupled TGM model was proposed on the basis of the elastic damage principal, and the coupling relationships were expressed by the governing equations.

Biomineralization is a generic term used to indicate biological‐mediated mineral formation. In carbonate mineralization, nucleation of crystals can be: (1) controlled directly by the organisms, like in the skeletal formation of most metazoans; (2) induced by microbial communities, by indirect precipitation mediated by their metabolic activities; or (3)

Overcoming challenges in the classification of deep geothermal potential [PDF]
The geothermal community lacks a universal definition of deep geothermal systems. A minimum depth of 400 m is often assumed, with a further sub-classification into middle-deep geothermal systems for reservoirs found between 400 and 1000 m.

Experimental Study on Tight Sandstone Reservoir Gas Permeability Improvement Using Electric Heating
Although tight sandstone gas formations are abundant in China, their single-well productivities and exploitation efficiencies are restricted by water blocking from drilling and completion. At present, shut-in, chemical additive application, and hydraulic
