Water and CO2 Permeability of a Shale Sample Core from Svalbard
Abstract Flow in tight shales is thought to be largely confined to fractures and similar features. Therefore, how open such features are under in-situ conditions has a major impact on shale permeability. We performed 43 permeability measurements on...
