Diffusion is an important mass transfer mode of tight sandstone gas.Since nano-pores are extensively developed in the interior of tight sandstone,a considerable body of research indicates that the type of diffusion is mainly molecular diffusion based on Fick\'s law.However,accurate modeling and understanding the physics of gas transport phenomena in nano-porous media is still a challenge for researchers and traditional investigation (analytical and experimental methods) have many limitations in studying the generic behavior.In this paper,we used Nano-CT to observe the pore structures of samples of the tight sandstone of western of Sichuan.Combined with advanced image processing technology,three-dimensional distributions of the nanometer-sized pores were reconstructed and a tight sandstone digital core model was built,as well the pore structure parameters were analyzed quantitatively.Based on the digital core model,the diffusion process of methane molecules from a higher concentration area to a lower concentration area was simulated by a finite volume method.Finally,the reservoir\'s concentration evolution was visualized and the intrinsic molecular diffusivity tensor which reflects the diffusion capabilities of this rock was calculated.Through comparisons,we found that our calculated result was in good agreement with other empirical results.This study provides a new research method for tight sandstone digital rock physics.It is a foundation for future tight sandstone gas percolation theory and numerical simulation research.

Owing to the increasingly serious environmental issues caused by the sulfur burnt in fuel,desulfurization has become an important topic.In this work,an amphiphilic oxygen-defective tungsten oxide was synthesized by a colloidal chemistry method.The amphiph
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are a new class of green solvents analogous to ionic liquids due to their biodegradable capacity and low cost.However,the direct extractive desulfurization of diesel oil by DESs cannot meet the government\'s standard.In thi
With the aim of deep desulfurization,silica-supported polyoxometalate-based ionic liquids were successfully prepared by a one-pot hydrothermal process and employed in heterogeneous oxidative desulfurization of various sulfur compounds.The compositions and

To improve the rate of penetration (ROP) in drilling deep and hard formations,this paper proposes a new drilling method called coiled tubing partial underbalanced drilling (CT-PUBD).As a preliminary investigation into the new drilling method,this paper pr

Wellbore failure can occur at different stages of operations.For example,wellbore collapse might happen during drilling and/or during production.The drilling process results in the removal of an already stressed rock material.If the induced stresses near
Less than 10% of oil is usually recovered from liquid-rich shales and this leaves much room for improvement,while water injection into shale formation is virtually impossible because of the extremely low permeability of the formation matrix.Injecting carb
The most prominent aspect of multiphase flow is the variation in the physical distribution of the phases in the flow conduit known as the flow pattern.Several different flow pattems can exist under different flow conditions which have significant effects
