Abstract: Methods for determining a volume of stored gas within a rock sample includes loading a rock sample into an overburden cell. A hydrocarbon gas at a gas pressure is applied to the rock sample and a confining fluid at a confining pressure is applied to the overburden cell. The confining pressure and the gas pressure are increased until a first pressure and temperature condition is met. With the rock sample maintained at the first temperature and pressure condition, a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer is used to scan the rock sample and measure a hydrocarbon gas volume within the rock sample. This measured hydrocarbon gas volume is then corrected using a Real Gas Index to determine the volume of stored gas within the rock sample.

Abstract: An apparatus for forming a three-dimensional article through successively depositing individual layers of powder material that are fused together with an electron beam from an electron beam source so as to form the article according to a computer model thereof. The apparatus includes a chamber a chamber having a first section and a second section openly connected to each other. The first section is configured to receive the individual layers of powder material. The second section comprising an electron beam source, an electromagnetic focus coil having an axially extending, and a reflector coil. The electron beam source is configured to emit an electron beam to fuse the individual layers of powder material. The reflector coil is arranged radially outside the electromagnetic focus coil. The direction of windings of the reflector coil is opposite a direction of windings of the electromagnetic focus coil.

Abstract: Methods for simulating the movement of fluid through a formation volume comprises defining a lab-scale model representing rock fabric and associated permeability along a single well location within a formation volume and converting the lab-scale model to a field-scale model representing rock fabric and associated permeability at the single well location. The field-scale model representing rock fabric and associated permeability is correlated with field-scale log data and interpolated between multiple well locations so as to create a field-scale model representing rock fabric and associated permeability across the formation volume so that the movement of fluid through the formation volume can be simulated.
