Booming in the shale gas and tight oil industry in the past few years has stimulated profound interest in exploration and production activities. The recoverable shale gas in Canada is estimated to be 573 trillion cubic feet, which can provide 100 years of natural gas supply. Studies directed towards the development of reliable phase behavior and flow modeling of hydrocarbons is key to predict the gas and tight oil production from shale formations. However, shale unconventional reservoirs are very different from the conventional reservoirs where hydrocarbons are stored in fractures and big pores which are generally larger than 100 nm.

页岩气和致密油行业在过去几年的蓬勃发展激发了人们对勘探和生产活动的浓厚兴趣。加拿大可开采的页岩气估计为573万亿立方英尺，可提供100年的天然气供应。开发可靠的烃类相态和流动模型是预测页岩气和致密油产量的关键。然而，页岩非常规油气藏与常规油气藏有很大的不同，常规油气藏中的油气储存在裂缝和一般大于100 nm的大孔隙中。
