New fractal-dimension-based relation model for estimating absolute permeability through capillary pressure curves

Changyong Li et al.

Summary: The paper developed a new general power-law relation model to predict absolute permeability by integrating Poiseuille's law and fractal capillary pressure model. The model showed high fitting accuracy and could predict permeability through 5 basic parameters. The study found that for rock samples with fractal dimension greater than 3, the new model performed better than traditional models in predicting capillary pressure and absolute permeability.

Fractal Analysis of Tight Sandstone Petrophysical Properties in Unconventional Oil Reservoirs with NMR and Rate-Controlled Porosimetry

Fuyong Wang et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the fractal characteristics of pore spaces in tight sandstones from the Ordos Basin in China, using NMR and RCP techniques. It showed that the fractal dimensions of pore spaces with movable fluids were negatively correlated with permeability and reservoir quality index, with fractal dimensions approaching 3 indicating less favorable petrophysical properties. Different fractal models were compared for calculating fractal dimensions, with the 3D capillary model found to be the most accurate for evaluating tight sandstone properties.

Houfeng He et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the pore structure of shale using various research methods and analyses the components of shale samples from the Ordos Basin in China. It found that the shale is mainly composed of kaolinite, illite, and quartz, and exhibits significant fractal characteristics. The relationships between pore parameters and fractal dimensions were also examined.
