Multi-scale pore structural change across a paleodepositional transition in Utica shale probed by gas sorption overcondensation and scanning (2021)
Journal Article
Pitcher, E. G., Large, D. J., Fletcher, R. S., & Rigby, S. P. (2021). Multi-scale pore structural change across a paleodepositional transition in Utica shale probed by gas sorption overcondensation and scanning. Marine and Petroleum Geology, 134, Article 105348. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpetgeo.2021.105348

Pore structure and network configuration in shales greatly impacts physical processes important for hydrocarbon migration, methane extraction, gas storage, or carbon sequestration. The multi-scale nature of the porosity in shales presents significant...

Evaluation of impact of surface diffusion on methane recovery via carbon dioxide injection in shale reservoirs (2021)
Journal Article
Spanakos, D., & Rigby, S. P. (2022). Evaluation of impact of surface diffusion on methane recovery via carbon dioxide injection in shale reservoirs. Fuel, 307, 1-17. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fuel.2021.121928

Injection of carbon dioxide into shale reservoirs is a promising technology for enhancing natural gas recovery and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Nanoscale phenomena contribute to a significant difference in mass transfer processes within shale-g...

Effect of Geological Heterogeneities on Reservoir Storage Capacity and migration of CO 2 Plume in a Deep Saline Fractured Carbonate Aquifer (2021)
Journal Article
Sohal, M. A., Le Gallo, Y., Audigane, P., De Dios, J. C., & Rigby, S. P. (2021). Effect of Geological Heterogeneities on Reservoir Storage Capacity and migration of CO 2 Plume in a Deep Saline Fractured Carbonate Aquifer. International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control, 108, Article 103306. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijggc.2021.103306

In a reservoir characterization study of the Hontomín deep saline aquifer, the impact of geological heterogeneities on reservoir storage capacity and the migration of the CO2 plume is explored. This work presents, for the first time, very long-term (...
