Report on the modelling of CH4 Storage and release in shale matrix

The works proposed here consists in the improvement of the GenMol code subcontracted to the GenMol developers coord G Ppe U Marseille France1 in order to 1 study the CH4 sorption capacity of the kerogen organic matter 2 increase the model size in order to tackle discontinuities larger than 20 and 3 model the CH4 molecules motion in these discontinuities The model will be run for a representative set of examples corresponding to the conditions prescribed in WP2 The results will be used to parameterize the macroscopic production modelling WP3
