Sorption of CH4 and CO2 on a carboniferous shale from Belgium using a manometric setup

Shale gas resources are globally abundant, and the development of these resources can increase CH4 production. It is of interest to study the possibility of enhancing CH4 production by CO2 injection (enhanced gas recovery—EGR). Some studies indicate that, in shale, five molecules of CO2 can be stored for every molecule of CH4 produced. The technical feasibility of enhanced gas recovery (EGR) needs to be investigated in more detail. The amount of...
