Geology Geomechanics Shale Gas Total Gas Content Calculator
Actual independently partitioned adsorbed/free/dissolved shale gas on SAMEstandard-volume/mass basis, signed-free nonnegative inventory. No infer components, resource recovery or reservoir capacity from porosity alone.
Description
Total shale-gas content combines independently resolved gas components on one volume-per-mass basis.
Total shale-gas content combines independently resolved gas components on one volume-per-mass basis.1
Reference pressure and temperature must match across components. Use this tool to calculate the stated observation or conditional model from supplied measurements.
When to use Geology Geomechanics Shale Gas Total Gas Content Calculator
Use this tool to calculate the stated observation or conditional model from supplied measurements. Establish the sample and coordinate basis, matching units, calibration source and applicable model assumptions.
How to use Geology Geomechanics Shale Gas Total Gas Content Calculator and understand its results
- Establish the sample and coordinate basis, matching units, calibration source and applicable model assumptions.
- Enter actualIndependentlyResolvedAdsorbedGasVolumePerMass, actualIndependentlyResolvedFreeGasVolumePerMass, actualIndependentlyResolvedDissolvedGasVolumePerMass, using the field meanings and rules below, then run the tool.
- Read result.observedSameReferenceTotalShaleGasVolumePerMass. Interpret each field using the units, signs and evidence rules below.
- If input validation fails, correct the reported field and run again. Before applying a successful result, check the stated reference scope, units, assumptions and any retained unknown evidence.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| actualIndependentlyResolvedAdsorbedGasVolumePerMass | Actual independently resolved adsorbed gas volume per mass | number | Required |
| actualIndependentlyResolvedFreeGasVolumePerMass | Actual independently resolved free gas volume per mass | number | Required |
| actualIndependentlyResolvedDissolvedGasVolumePerMass | Actual independently resolved dissolved gas volume per mass | number | Required |
Require nonnegative independently resolved adsorbed, free and dissolved gas contents on one matched volume-per-mass and gas-reference basis. Sum the three components without choosing pressure/temperature conversion or assessing completeness.
totalGasVolumePerMass=adsorbed+free+dissolved Apply the field units and exact ordering, boundary and evidence rules above.

}Limitations and assumptions
Reference pressure and temperature must match across components. Results depend on the independently established measurement basis and the exact model assumptions above.
Every listed input requires an explicit value. Unexpected fields, incorrect value types, nonfinite numbers and sparse numeric arrays fail validation; tool-specific bounds and alignment rules apply as described above. Extremely large inputs or outputs can also be rejected. An input error is distinct from a successful calculation that reports a false comparison or retains unknown evidence.
