Los Alamos-led study finds how to improve natural gas production in shale; hydrocarbon transport within nanopores

Green Car Congress

The most challenging issue facing the shale energy industry is the very low hydrocarbon recovery rates: less than 10% for oil and 20% for gas. Most of US natural gas is hidden deep within shale reservoirs. These insights help optimize strategies to boost natural gas production as well as better understand fluid mechanics.
