- Shale gas has now become an important part of unconventional hydrocarbon resources all around the world.
- Gas flow mechanisms in shale are urgent to clarify due to the complicated pore structure and low permeability.
- the past decades, numerous numbers of studies have been carried out to find ways enhancing properties of bitumen.
- Coal is an important source of energy because of its potential for power generation and its abundance in the earth.
- Boom clay is studied as a potential host rock for underground nuclear waste storage.
- Determination of the physical properties of shale is receiving more attention as the numbers of shale gas exploration projects are initiated, and as hydraulic fracturing becomes an integral exploitation method.
- To extract unconventional energy more efficiently, the hydraulic fracturing technology is widely used to create fracture network in formations and facilitate the transport of hydrocarbons to production wells.
- How to protect the coal yard by monitoring the temperature of spontaneous combustion of coal is an important guarantee of the safe operation of thermal power plant.
- Accompanied with liquid condensation, natural gas production wells suffer from liquid loading if the gas flow rate is insufficient to carry liquids to the surface.
