Component Flow Key to Boosting China’s Shale Oil Recovery

China’s terrestrial shale oil output is rising, but recovery remains low due to the poor mobility of heavy hydrocarbons in nano-scale pores. Professor Zhao Wenzhi introduces the concept of “component flow,” where light and intermediate hydrocarbons help mobilize heavy components through miscibility.
