DF1: Experimental Data on Matrix Gas Flow Through Shales and Tight Sandstone

Supporting datafile DF1.csv provides all experimental data associated with a research paper on matrix gas flow through 'impermeable' rocks. The dataset is accompanied by a compressed archive of Matlab scripts for finite element simulation and permeability data processing. The data was authored by E. H. Rutter from the University of Manchester and is shared under an Open Access license.

Use Cases

• Calibrating finite element models for rock stress states based on the provided simulation scripts.
• Analyzing permeability trends in shales and tight sandstones based on the experimental data.
• Validating numerical simulations of hydrostatically loaded samples with end piston constraints.
• Processing and interpreting laboratory permeability measurements using the provided Matlab tools.

Strengths

• Includes companion Matlab scripts for simulation and data processing, enhancing reproducibility.
• Data is directly associated with a published research paper, providing context.
• Shared under an Open Access (green) license, facilitating reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
