Abstract

Different from conventional reservoirs, a significant proportion of oil is in an adsorbed or even immobile state in shale and tight rocks. There are established comprehensive mathematical models quantifying the adsorbed, immobile, and free oil contents in shale rocks. However, the conclusions of the monotonicity of the complicated models from sensitivity analysis might not be universal, and rigorous mathematical derivation is needed to demonstrate their rationale. In this paper, the models for oil/water storage in the nanoporous grains in shale, i.e., kerogen and clay, are achieved based on the aforementioned storage models. Rigorous analytical derivations are employed to strictly prove the monotonicity of the immobile and adsorbed models, which is the main purpose of this work. This work expands the applicability of the storage models, is fundamental and important for mobility analysis in shale reservoirs, and can shed light on its efficient exploration and development.
