MS 1.02: Fractal Theory and its Applications to Flow and Transport Properties of Porous Media
Oral 20 Minutes

Recent years, tight oil and gas has become a very important and reliable replacement for conventional energy. The porosity in tight reservoir is very small and there is a threshold pressure gradient (TPG) phenomenon and stress sensitivity in it, which make the fluid in tight reservoir hard to move and has a different employment law from the conventional reservoir, so we need a further...

MS 1.32: Sorption, Phase Behavior, and Fluid Transport in Fractured Black Shales
Oral 20 Minutes

Objectives:
CO2 injection, as one of the effective techniques for enhancing recovery of shale gas, has been widely used and proved economically available. In shale, clay minerals play an important role on methane adsorption due to its large volume of micropores. So far, however, a few attentions have been paid on competitive adsorption of CO2/CH4 Mixtures on clay minerals. In this study, we...

MS 4.10: Evaluation and Optimization of Non-Conservative Transport in Porous Media
Oral 20 Minutes

The traditional fixed-bed reactor design is ususally based on empirical correlations of plug flow pattern. This empirical method is usually not suitable for the low tube-to-particle diameter ratios (N=D/d< 4) where the local phenomena of channeling near the wall and the backflow in the bed are dominant. The recent “solid particle” method1 is too complicated for mesh generation, especially for...

MS 2.15: Modelling and Simulation of Porous Media: From Microstructure to Functionality
Poster + 3 Minute Pitch

Low frequency lattice vibrations (<100 cm-2) are indicators of variety of structural transformations in the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) [1]. In the case of zeolitic imidazole frameworks (ZIFs) ZIF-4, ZIF-7 and ZIF-8, the terahertz vibrations which are responsible for such phenomena as gate opening mechanism, shear-induced deformations or breathing. ZIFs are promising materials not only for...

MS 2.15: Modelling and Simulation of Porous Media: From Microstructure to Functionality
Poster

Atomic level simulations, such as molecular dynamics (MD), Monte Carlo (MC) or DFT, have recently become indispensable tools for characterization of porous materials [1]. Computational methods are often used to study adsorption, diffusion or separation mechanisms. Here, we perform density functional theory (DFT) calculations of structural properties of flexible and rigid nanoporous MOFs. For...

MS 1.14: Transport in nanoporous materials. Theory and molecular dynamics simulations
Poster

Due to the size effect of nanochannels and the strong influence of nanochannel surfaces, these ultra-confined water and oil molecules behave extraordinary differently from their bulk counterpart. Therefore, it is of great necessary to study the adsorption and transport of water and oil molecules in the nanochannel.
In this paper, we investigate the adsorption and transport mechanism of...

MS 3.06: Microfluidics and Micromodels in Porous Media Research
Poster

Wettability is known to have an enormous impact on oil recovery in the petroleum industry and efforts are being made to assess the role of such conditions. This work creatively tailors the microchip surface wetting property by using rock-forming mineral coatings. The mineral surfaces are created in microchips by using the novel layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly technology.[1] The formed mineral...

Oral 20 Minutes

The surface chemistry discrepancy between microchips and real rocks/soils restricts the full application of microfluidics technology to subsurface energy and environmental research. Here, we creatively rebuild rock/soil surface chemistries in microchips by forming mineral coatings with an advanced coating technique - layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly technology.[1] The outcome of this work is a...
