Phase Behavior and Critical Properties of Hydrocarbons in Shale Illite Nanopores

Clay minerals are significant constituents of shale reservoirs, yet the confinement-induced phase behavior of hydrocarbons within clay nanopores has received comparatively less attention than in carbonaceous materials. In this study, Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations...

Effect ofFracture Aperture and Water Saturation onthe In Situ Conversion of Tar-Rich Coal

Abstract With abundant coal resources globally, in situ conversion technology, an emerging unconventional energy development method, is a crucial pathway for achieving efficient and clean utilization of tar-rich coal. However, its application is challenged by the heterogeneity of...
