CO2 Extraction of Shale Oil from Nanoscale Variable-Diameter Blind Pores from a Molecular Dynamic Perspective
Shale oil, despite its substantial reserves and significant development potential, presents a great extraction challenge. The existence of micro- and nanopores within shale formations renders conventional recovery methods largely ineffective, resulting in a limited recovery factor. With stronger adsorption, CO2 enables...
