Pore structural evolution of shale following thermochemical treatment (2019)
Journal Article
Rigby, S. P., Jahan, H., Stevens, L., Uguna, C., Snape, C., Macnaughton, B., …Fletcher, R. S. (2020). Pore structural evolution of shale following thermochemical treatment. Marine and Petroleum Geology, 112, Article 104058. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpetgeo.2019.104058

Shales experience heat treatment concurrent with the presence of water or steam during reservoir engineering interventions, such as high pressure water fracking and in-situ combustion of hydrocarbons. This work utilises a novel technique, which is a... Read More about Pore structural evolution of shale following thermochemical treatment.

New perspectives on supercritical methane adsorption in shales and associated thermodynamics (2019)
Journal Article
Tang, X., Ripepi, N., Rigby, S., Mokaya, R., & Gilliland, E. (2019). New perspectives on supercritical methane adsorption in shales and associated thermodynamics. Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, 78, 186-197. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jiec.2019.06.015

Understanding methane adsorption behavior in shales is fundamental for optimizing shale gas development as the adsorbed methane is a large portion of the subsurface shale gas resource. However, the adsorption mechanism of supercritical methane in sha... Read More about New perspectives on supercritical methane adsorption in shales and associated thermodynamics.
