Many large scale energy applications rely on small scale fluid transport. Over the last few years our group and others have developed microfluidic approaches for bioenergy, carbon sequestration, reservoir fluid analysis, and quantifying pore-scale transport in conventional microporous oil and gas reservoirs. Current global energy, however, is being reshaped by unconventional oil and gas operations, namely the hydraulic fracturing of nanoporous shale gas and tight oil reservoirs. Transport of fluids in fractured reservoirs is a complex interplay of multicomponent multiphase flow through both nano-pores and micro-fractures, which may be wetting or non-wetting, at high temperature and pressure. This is a very complicated process that is poorly understood.

许多大规模的能源应用依赖于小规模的流体运输。在过去的几年中，我们的小组和其他人开发了微流体方法，用于生物能源，碳固存，储层流体分析以及量化常规微孔油和天然气储层中的孔隙尺度运输。然而，当前的全球能源正在通过非常规的石油和天然气运营来重塑，即纳米孔页岩气和紧密的油库的液压压裂。裂缝储层中流体的运输是通过纳米倍数和微裂纹的多组分多相流的复杂相互作用，在高温和压力下可能是润湿或不润湿的。这是一个非常复杂的过程，知之甚少。
