Abstract: CO2 injection has become the effective and potential means to enhance shale gas recovery and realize CO2 geological sequestration because of the CO2-CH4 competitive adsorption. However, the clarification on CO2-CH4 competitive adsorption behaviors is mainly limited to molecular simulations based on single nanoscale pore size, and it is difficult to carry out large-scale calculations based on pore-scale simulations. In this study, a new methodology coupling with molecular simulation, lattice Boltzmann method and machine learning is proposed to accurately simulate and rapidly predict the CO2-CH4 competitive adsorption in kerogen and illite three-dimensional nanoporous media under different CO2 molar fractions. From the features of pore structure and the accurate database of competitive adsorption behaviors from pore-scale simulations which are modified by molecular simulations, the Artificial Neural Network is then trained to be able to predict CO2-CH4 competitive adsorption capacity in arbitrary large-scale porous media. The above method overcomes the limitation of computing resource consumption of molecular simulation and pore-scale simulation, and provides research ideas and basic models for simulation and prediction of fluid adsorption behaviors in large-scale porous media.
