Overview

Nanofluidic experiments demonstrate non-Darcy flow in shale oil, suggesting new methods for oil recovery.

Key Points

  • This research aims to understand the flow behavior of shale oil in nanopores and the challenges posed by nanoconfinement.
  • Conducting nanofluidic experiments in channels of varying pore sizes (100, 200, 300 nm)
  • Measuring displacement distances of shale oil under specific temperature and pressure conditions
  • Incorporating an equivalent resistance coefficient into flow models for data fitting
  • Displacement distances of shale oil varied significantly with pore size, showing non-linear flow behavior
  • The equivalent resistance coefficient increases with decreasing pore size but decreases with rising temperature and pressure
  • Even under high conditions, shale oil flow does not completely return to ideal Darcy behavior
