Using Single-Molecule Imaging System Combined with Nano-Fluidic Chips to Understand Fluid Flow

The objective of the project is to improve the understanding of the flow behavior of natural gas and introduced fluids (water, surfactant solutions and polymers) in the nano-darcy range of tight gas and shale formations by using advanced single-molecule imaging system combined with nano-fluidic chips and pore-scale numerical simulation techniques. Specifically, the Subcontractor will examine the flow behavior of gas and introduced fluids in the nano-scale pores and cracks in tight formations and study the effect of introduced fluids on natural gas transportation properties, such as capillary pressure, absolute permeability, relative permeability, non-Darcy flow. The difference of fluid flow in shale and tight sand formations will also be identified.
