Modeling of Gas Transport in Shale Matrix from Nanoscale to Reservoir Scale

Keliu Wu is currently an associate professor at the China University of Petroleum-Beijing. Previously, he was a post-doctoral-degree fellow and a research associate at the University of Calgary. Wu's research interests are microscale and nanoscale fluid transport, scaling up of fluid transport in heterogeneous porous media, and numerical modeling and simulation of coupled flow and geomechanics processes. He also focuses on carbon dioxide sequestration in shale-oil/gas reservoirs and tight oil/gas reservoirs. He holds a PhD degree in petroleum engineering from the China University of Petroleum-Beijing
