Funded Activity Summary
Multiphysics instabilities during diagenesis of shale gas reservoirs. This project aims to understand the formation, geometry and fluid connectivity of unconventional high-temperature and high pressure shale gas reservoirs using volumetric instabilities of ductile materials. Unconventional shale gas/oil are the most abundant fossil fuel resources on Earth, but are inaccessible to conventional techniques. This project will investigate the mechanisms, critical parameters and applicability of the theory to unconventional reservoirs. It will do so by testing the theory under controlled laboratory experiments, fully coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical (THMC) modelling and analytical modelling. The outcomes should allow a rigorous assessment of the potential of unconventional reservoirs under Australia’s extreme conditions.Funded Activity Details
