A comprehensive mathematical model considering multiple mechanisms for CO₂ displacement of methane in shale nanopores by Chaohua Guo (837102)

“…Key findings from this study are as follows: (1) Increasing pore radius or decreasing pressure enhances the apparent permeability of CH₄–CO₂ gas, with pressure effects becoming negligible above 20 MPa. (2) The impact of viscosity correction on gas permeability diminishes with higher pressure or larger pore radius, becoming negligible for pore radii over 10 nm. (3) Larger pore radii increase slip flow and Knudsen diffusion, while molecular and surface diffusion proportions decrease; surface diffusion and slip flow dominate at high pressures. (4) A higher CH₄–CO₂ component ratio increases CH₄ permeability and decreases CO₂ permeability, with minimal influence from pressure and pore radius. …”
