The Calculation of Apparent Permeability for Shale Gas Considering Adsorption and Flow Patterns

Abstract:

The flow pattern is unique in a certain range of pore size divided by the Knudsen number. In order to characterize permeability of nanopore in shale gas reservoir more accurately, the formulas of nanopore permeability are put forward considering the influence of adsorption gas and flow patterns. After the calculated results were compared and analyzed, the conclusions are obtained as follows: (1) Pore size is the main factor to determine the flow pattern; (2) There are three main flow pattern in the nanopore of Longmaxi formation shale reservoirs, slip flow, Fick diffusion and transition diffusion, meanwhile Darcy percolation and Knudsen diffusion do not exist; (3) Flow pattern has great influence on apparent permeability and adsorption has a greater impact in a high pressure condition (greater than 20MPa).
