Introduction Objective Method Results & Discussion Summary
Organic-rich shales
• Consist of organic matter (OM)and mineral matrix
• Organic matter (OM) produceshydrocarbons (oil & gas)
• Degenerated organic matter leavesbehind nano-pores
• OM preferentially adsorbs CO2
over methane (CH4)
• Ultra-tight nature minimizesleakage

Knudsen layer
• Non-equilibrium region, where wallcollision is considered
• Covers less than 20% ofcharacteristic length in slip flow
• Slip effects are more pronouncedas Knudsen number increases

Introduction Objective Method Results & Discussion Summary
Discussion
• At the same prevailing conditions, CH4 recorded higher slip velocity and mean free path than CO2
• Decrease in TMAC from 0.9 to 0.7 slightly caused an increase in slip velocity and mean free path in both cases
• Increase in temperature from 298.15 K to 320 K also saw an increase in the slip velocity and mean free path in both cases
• Increase in pressure from 250 psi to 500 psi resulted in a decrease in the mean free path
• Knudsen number ranged from 0.06 to 0.1

Introduction Objective Method Results & Discussion Summary
Summary• Carbon dioxide (CO2) is more susceptible to adsorption than methane (CH4)
in the same pore geometry and under similar conditions.
• TMAC plays an important role in gas slip models
• Slip velocity is due to pore wall interactions and therefore depends on thetype of reflection gas molecules experience at the walls
