In-situ conversion is proposed applicable for low-medium maturity shale oil reservoir. However, parallel chemical kinetic reactions and evolution of shale pores during in-situ conversion make the numerical simulation a challenging problem. Although shale is typical multiscale and heterogeneous media, few models in previous studies take the difference between organic and inorganic system into consideration, which cannot simulate fluid flow accurately. In this paper, a multi-continuum model, considering coupled thermal-reactive compositional flow, is developed to simulate in-situ conversion process in low-medium maturity shale oil reservoir. The reaction of kerogen and hydrocarbon is quantified using kinetic reaction model. The evolution of fluid composition and shale properties are also incorporated. The accuracy of multiple-interacting-continua model and compositional model are demonstrated by comparing with commercial software and analytical solution. Then, the typical hexagon vertical well heating pattern is simulated and the feasibility is evaluated from an economic aspect. Finally, a series of case studies are conducted to investigate the impact of operation parameters on shale oil production.

Natural, artificial, and biological porous media can be seen everywhere in our daily lives. Transport phenomena in porous media, such as flow, diffusion, reaction, adsorption and deformation, are encountered in a wide variety of practical applications and scientific interests over widely disparate length scales, from molecular, to pore, core, and field scales. However, determination of transport properties in porous media remains a challenging issue. During the ${12}^{\mathrm{t}\mathrm{h}}$ Annual Meeting of the International Society for Porous Media (InterPore), held online from August 31-September 4, 2020, advances on porous media science and engineering in very broad areas were presented. The meeting was attended by more than 750 participants from across the globe, and a significant milestone was achieved in the history of InterPore conferences due to its online interactive platform. Participants could access the pre-recorded talks, leave comments and questions, chat with each other, one week before the conference. Then, all the feedback related to a talk was discussed in the presence of the author during several Q&A sessions. Invited and Keynote talks were live, and were also recorded. Each Q&A session was moderated by two experts, who first reviewed the 8 contributions of their session and then summarized the questions for each talk. The author could further elaborate their work and answer the questions.
