Role of molecular diffusion in heterogeneous, naturally fractured shale reservoirs during CO2 huff-n-puff
TLDR
Findings in this work reveal the importance of the configuration of the pre-existing natural fracture system for the performance of the huff-n-puff process and a threshold correlation length value wherein heterogeneity becomes favorable for improved oil recovery instead of hampering oil recovery.About:

Investigations of CO2 storage capacity and flow behavior in shale formation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors comprehensively evaluated CO2 storage potential and injectivity in the Bakken Formation through various approaches, and several novel conclusions were obtained regarding analyzing main control factors; the most important one is that adsorption outweighs molecular diffusion in determining CO2 injection rate.
