A new modeling study contradicts a long-held belief of geologists that pore sizes and chemical compositions are uniform throughout a given strata, which are horizontal slices of sedimentary rock. By ...

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) flooding is an effective method to enhance oil recovery in low-permeability reservoirs. Studying key geological factors controlling oil displacement efficiency is of great ...

A recent U.S. Geological Survey assessment of previously undiscovered gas and oil in Texas' Permian Basin has found that ...

A comprehensive study of the reserve and production potential of the Barnett shale integrates engineering, geology, and economics into a numerical model that allows for scenario testing based on ...

Process I indicates that hydrocarbons undergo self-generation, self-storage and micromigration in felsic-rich laminated shale. Process II indicates that hydrocarbons undergo self-generation, ...

A Sandia modeling study contradicts a long-held belief of geologists that pore sizes and chemical compositions are uniform throughout a given strata, which are horizontal slices of sedimentary rock.
