This study investigates the pore structure, mineralogy, geochemistry, and fractal characteristics of shale samples from the Rajmahal Basin, India, to assess their readiness for CO<sub>2</sub> storage through an integrated analysis involving low-pressure N<sub>2</sub>/CO<sub>2</sub> adsorption, Rock-Eval pyrolysis, FE-SEM, and mercury intrusion porosimetry. Micropore volume increases from 0.010 to 0.035 cm<sup>3</sup>/g, and surface area increases from 22.73 to 98.99 m<sup>2</sup>/g as maturity increases, indicating an enhancement in sorption capacity. As surface roughness and heterogeneity increase, fractal characteristics exhibit a positive correlation with micropores, increasing from 2.50 to 2.78. The SEM-based fractal dimensions of thermally mature samples show increasing morphological complexity, ranging from 1.958 to 1.994. Due to the constraint in accessibility of micropores, MIP-derived fractal characteristics hardly show any connection with maturity. This highlights the crucial role of thermal maturity in the formation of micropores relative to macropores. Principal Component Analysis reveals organic matter and clay minerals as two independent geological factors that primarily control the pore architecture. Together, they contribute to a 62.9 % variance in the PCA. The microporous network in organic matter signifies high potential for adsorption-driven retention of injected gases. Organic matter contributes dominantly to gas storage, while inorganic components control the gas flow pattern. These characteristics enhance the viability of the thermally mature Rajmahal shales in future emission management frameworks, suggesting that they are potential sites for the geological confinement of anthropogenic gases.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100568,"journal":{"name":"Gas Science and Engineering","volume":"146 ","pages":"Article 205833"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145884260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Maintaining the methane number (MN) above 80 is essential for ensuring stable combustion and reducing unburned methane emissions. This study introduces a cascade temperature control strategy aimed at sustaining the MN within the target value required for reliable and optimal engine performance. A dynamic simulation model of the FGSS was developed to assess LNG storage tank pressure dynamics, system behavior under variable engine loads, and control performance of the system. Results showed that lower initial LNG volumes increase the boil-off rate (BOR), accelerating tank pressure rise. Controlling the temperature of the stream entering the gas–liquid separator effectively adjusted methane number. The proposed cascade control strategy significantly reduced fuel losses. Over a 15-day operation period, methane and the total fuel losses reduced by approximately 13 % and 12 %, respectively, while consistently maintaining MN above 80.

Amongst the direct methods, the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) is a potential pathway to reduce CO<sub>2</sub> emissions and can produce commodity chemicals such as ethylene, a chemical regarded as central to the petrochemical industry. Even though OCM has been studied for over four decades, the technology still has not found commercial application. Amongst the challenges regarding industrial deployment of OCM, the most significant one is the requirement of a high ethylene yield of 30 % which is currently reported to be around 20 %. Moreover, the highly exothermic nature of the process and controlling the carbon selectivity over oxides of carbon (COx) is the heart of the problem. Numerous researchers have presented promising results in terms of catalysts, reactor designs and feeding strategies for OCM. However, due to lack of inclusiveness in the results, none of the combination of catalysts, reactors and system optimizations has been able to bring about its industrial viability. The current paper presents an extensive review of the noteworthy attempts to achieve industrial targets for OCM. Moreover, a comprehensive criteria is presented which highlights the desired end state for the industrial deployment of OCM technology. The criteria is based on literature survey and a comparison with industrially deployed ethylene production plants i.e., naphtha or ethane steam cracker plants.
