Measuring low permeabilities of gas-sands and shales using a pressure transmission technique
TLDR
In this article, the authors used a pressure transmission technique in specially designed apparatus in which confining pressure, pore pressure, and temperature are independently controlled, and measured anisotropy ratio in gas shale varies from 20% to 31%.About:

Gas transport and storage capacity in shale gas reservoirs – A review. Part A: Transport processes
Yves Gensterblum,Amin Ghanizadeh,Robert J. Cuss,Alexandra Amann-Hildenbrand,Bernhard M. Krooss,Christopher R. Clarkson,John F. Harrington,Mark D. Zoback +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the fluid transport processes in shale gas reservoirs is presented, where the authors examine processes occurring at various spatial scales, ranging from fracture flow on the centimeter scale down to slipflow on the nanometer scale.

Petrophysical and geomechanical characteristics of Canadian tight oil and liquid-rich gas reservoirs: I. Pore network and permeability characterization
TL;DR: The results from an ongoing laboratory study investigating petrophysical characteristics of the Montney and Bakken formations in Canada are presented in this article, where the pore network (porosity, pore size distribution, and fluid transport permeability) properties of these formations in areas with limited datasets are analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anisotropy and Stress Dependence of Permeability in the Barnett Shale
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured a permeability anisotropy, the ratio of the horizontal to the vertical permeability, of two Barnett Shale samples and found that the permeability does not vary with effective stress.

Permeability of granite under high pressure
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the porosity of Westerly granite as a function of effective pressure to 4 kb and found that porosity is correlated with the electrical resistivity of the granite.

The Permeability Of Porous Media To Liquids And Gases
TL;DR: The standard procedure for determining the permeability of porous media according to APZ Code No. 27 (first edition, October 1935) is based on the fundamental assumption that, as long as the rate of flow is proportional to the pressure gradient as mentioned in this paper.

The effect of cracks on the compressibility of rock
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that porosity can be determined quite precisely from compressibility measurements, in particular for material in which all porosity occurs as narrow cracks, and that a crack increases compressibility nearly as much as a spherical pore of the same diameter as the length of the crack.
