Abstract
The reservoir simulator MUSHRM was used to study the conditions under which significant shale recharge may be expected. The calculations presented herein show that shale recharge is a strong function of the vertical shale permeability but is not greatly influence by the shale compressibility. Significant shale recharge will occur only if the vertical shale permeability is at least of the order of 0.01 d.
