... ABSTRACT Studies have shown that up to 85% of total shale gas-in-place could be adsorbed gas. Thus, how much more adsorbed gas can be extracted will significantly impact the ultimate gas recovery. In recent years, the concept of using thermal stimulation to enhance shale gas recovery has been...
