Nano-scale and Molecular Phenomena as New Unconventional Reservoir PhysicsThe molecular forces also play a significant role on fluid transport and could lead to potential non-Darcian flow effects. Osmosis of the injected water molecules leads to swelling of the clays in shale reservoirs and create a permeability skin near the fractures. During production, apparent gas permeability of the organic-rich ...
