... degrees, especially the shale reservoir contains multi-scales of pores from micrometer to nanometer [ 30 - 32 ], making the quantitative test of tight rock wettability very challenging [ 26 ]. With oil-wet organic matter and water-wet inorganic minerals distributed unevenly in the shale pores, the shale...

... Abstract Shale gas is generally believed to have been stored in forms of free compressed gas in open pores and cracks, as adsorbed gas on the surfaces of kerogen or clay minerals and as diffused gas stored within the solid organic matter (Bowker, 2007, Sondergeld et al., 2010). The nano-pores...
