As conventional oil and gas become depleted in most of the producing basins, extraction of unconventional gas trapped in shale formations needs to become more viable. Since Australian shales have different characteristics from North American ones, the existing knowledge cannot be directly applied. We aim to develop a novel multiscale framework for deep understanding of the complex multiphase interactions in shale gas reservoirs. The outcomes will not only enable us to effectively assess the viability of gas extraction from Australian shale reservoirs with accurate long-term production forecasting, but help to develop strategies to effectively extract this relatively low carbon-emitting fossil fuel in the transition to a renewable economy.

随着大多数生产盆地中常规的石油和气体在大多数生产盆地中耗尽，需要提取被困在页岩中的非常规气体需要变得更加可行。由于澳大利亚页岩与北美的页岩具有不同的特征，因此无法直接应用现有知识。我们旨在开发一个新型的多尺度框架，以深入了解页岩气储层中复杂的多相相互作用。结果不仅将使我们能够有效地评估具有准确长期生产预测的澳大利亚页岩储层中气体提取的可行性，而且还有助于制定策略，以有效地提取这种相对较低的碳发射化石燃料，从而在过渡到可再生经济的过渡中。
