English abstract In this work, the effect of pore structure of a sandstone on the molecular displacement of confined methane gas is analyzed. It was found that the self-diffusion coefficient of a methane molecule depends on the pore size distribution. In particular, the time dependent self-diffusion coefficient exhibits a maximum which is correlated with the effect of the molecular confinement. It was found that a sandstone with small pores (whose diameter is less than 20Å) traps the gas more efficiently than other sandstones
