Cover image by Kaiqiang Zhang on pages 132-135. Tight and shale reservoirs contain numerous nanopores of molecular size. The reduced pore scale results in the restricted free thermal motion and the enhanced intermolecular interactions, which induces the fluid phase to behave much differently. Understanding the deviated phase behavior at nanoscale contributes huge implications for unconventional hydrocarbons exploration and development.
