TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive literature review of CO2 enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR) potential in tight reservoirs is presented, showing that compared with Bakken and Eagle Ford formation, China's tight oil reservoirs feature higher mud content and oil viscosity while they have a lower brittleness index of rock and formation pressure coefficient, leading to confined stimulated reservoir volume and further limited CO2-oil contact.

TL;DR: Li et al. as mentioned in this paper systematically vary salinity to investigate its effect on imbibition capacity, desaturation and permeability, and found that high salinity can restrain the expansion of typical minerals and decrease maximum imbibed liquid volume.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive literature review and data analysis was conducted to diagnose how these conflicting results occurred and to identify a way to narrow the gap between experimental results and field performance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the phase behavior of shale gas or oil in nanopores is not yet well understood and one complexity comes from the fact that fluid adsorption can be significant in densely developed nanopores.

TL;DR: In this paper, an improved vapor/liquid equilibrium (VLE) calculation model is presented to calculate the phase behavior of confined fluids based on the modified Peng-Robinson equation of state (A-PR-EOS), which can reflect the effect of adsorption.
