Phase behavior in shale remains a ch allenging problem in the petroleum industry due to many complexities. One complexity arises from strong surface-fluid interactions in shale nano-sca le pores. These interactions can lead to a heterogeneous distribution of m olecules, which conventional bulk-phase thermodynamics fails to describe. The majority of current models for phase behavior in shale are based on bu lk-phase thermodynamics. There are currently very limited experimental dat a for hydrocarbon phase behavior in shale systems.
In this talk, a presentation on recent findings by a multidi sciplinary research team at Texas A&\;M on the hydrocarbon phase change in nano-scale capillaries using experiments, molecular simulation, and a pore-size-dependent equation of state. The team has used two experimental approaches based upon selected &ldquo\;model&rdquo\; porous materials: a) combination of a nano-channel device and epi-fluorescence microscopy, and b) modulated differential scanning calorimetry to accurately measure the e ffect of confinement on hydrocarbon phase behavior in shale. I will also p resent our recent results using molecular simulation and a pore-size-depen dent equation of state to model these experiments.
