Investigating Multiphase Flow Phenomena in Fine-Grained Reservoir Rocks: Insights from Using Ethane Permeability Measurements over a Range of Pore Pressures

Figure 2

Schematic cross sections of pore throats showing adsorbed liquid/semiliquid ethane (red and grey molecules) restricting flow paths for ethane gas at high gas pressure, resulting in decreased effective permeability to ethane gas.
