Abstract
The understanding of gas transport in deep shale nanopores is still not clear. In this study, molecular simulations of methane occurrence and flow in illite slits of deep shales under the condition of high-temperature and high-pressure was carried out. The occurrence, diffusion and flow characteristics of methane molecules were analyzed. The effects of temperature and pressure on methane occurrence and flow were elucidated. The results show that the distribution of methane density in illite slits is nonuniform, and there are density peaks near the wall. Compared with Middle and Shallow shales, more methane molecules can exist in the pores of deep shale, and the diffusion ability is limited. The methane flow flux decreases with the decrease of pressure (5∼80 MPa) and increases with the decrease of temperature (60∼120◦C). Pressure is the main dominating factor of flow flux, and the flow flux decreases gradually during depressurization.
