TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated method to quantify organic porosity using low field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is introduced, where resistivity, velocity, density, and natural gamma ray spectra are measured simultaneously to investigate petrophysical responses of organic pores.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of boundary conditions on the rate of oil production in partially water-covered matrix blocks with different boundary conditions and found that the area of water covered face has a more significant effect on the performance than that of oil-covered face.

TL;DR: In this article, the surface diffusion coefficient for shale is between 10 −18 and 10 −16 ǫm 2 /s, which implies that surface diffusion dominates the late stage of the gas mass transport.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a theoretical model of effective thermal conductivity in porous media with various liquid saturation based on the fractal geometry theory, which considers geometrical parameters of porous media, including porosity, liquid saturation, fractal dimensions for both the granular matrix and liquid phases, and tortuosity fractal dimension of the liquid phase.

TL;DR: In this paper, a dual-domain model is applied to simulate the heterogeneous porous media embedded with a constructal tree network based on the fractal distribution of pore space and tortuosity nature of flow paths.
