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.

随着大多数产盆地的常规石油和天然气逐渐枯竭，页岩地层中的非常规天然气的开采需要变得更加可行。由于澳大利亚页岩与北美页岩具有不同的特征，现有知识无法直接应用。我们的目标是开发一种新颖的多尺度框架，以深入了解页岩气储层中复杂的多相相互作用。研究结果不仅使我们能够通过准确的长期产量预测来有效评估从澳大利亚页岩储层提取天然气的可行性，而且有助于制定战略，在向可再生经济转型的过程中有效提取这种碳排放相对较低的化石燃料。
