Abstract
The transfer of Argon and Helium gas through a sample of Opalinus Clay, a low permeability indurated formation, was investigated by means of injection tests in the laboratory. The experimental data were carefully analysed by means of numerical simulations, including two-phase viscous -capillary flow and diffusional transport.
