Abstract: Adsorbed methane significantly affects shale gas reservoir estimates and shale gas transport in shale formations. Hence, a practical model for accurately representing methane adsorption behavior at high-pressure and high-temperature in shale is imperative. In this study, a reliable mathematical framework that estimates the absolute adsorption directly from low-pressure excess adsorption data is applied to describe the excess methane adsorption data in literature. This method provides detailed information on the volume and density of adsorbed methane. The obtained results indicate that the extensively used supercritical Dubinin-Radushkevich model with constant adsorbed phase density underestimates absolute adsorption at high pressure. The adsorbed methane volume increases both the pressure and expands with the temperature. The adsorbed methane density reduces above 10 MPa, and approaches a steady value at high pressure. This study provides a novel method for estimating adsorbed shale gas, which is expected improve the prediction of shale gas in place and gas production. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
