We measure spontaneous imbibition of aqueous (deionized water and KCl solutions of various concentrations) and oleic (kerosene and iso-octane) phases in several dry organic shale samples selected from two wells drilled in the Horn River basin. We find that the imbibition rate of aqueous phases is much higher than that of oleic phases even when plotted versus scaling dimensionless time, contrary to capillary-driven imbibition models. The observed difference is more pronounced in samples with higher day content. The results suggest that the excess water intake is due to (1) the additional driving force provided through water adsorption by clay minerals, and (2) the enhancement of sample permeability through adsorption-induced microfractures.
