Distribution characteristics and oil mobility thresholds in lacustrine shale reservoir: Insights from N2 adsorption experiments on samples prior to and following hydrocarbon extraction

Long-Hui Bai et al.

Summary: The pore structure and oil content of shales have a significant impact on oil mobility and enrichment. This study focuses on lacustrine shale samples from the Qingshankou Formation in the Songliao Basin. The analysis of mineral composition and organic matter reveals the development of nano-scale organic pores in the shale samples, with oil primarily found in pore spaces smaller than 10 nm. High oil mobility is observed when TOCo > 2.0 wt% and EOM > 1.0 wt%, indicating prospective drilling targets in the Qingshankou Formation shale.

Diagenetic evolution and densification mechanism of the Upper Paleozoic tight sandstones in the Ordos Basin, Northern China

Nina Su et al.

Summary: The Upper Paleozoic sedimentary succession in the Ordos Basin, Northern China, contains typical tight gas sandstones with poor reservoir properties. Petrographic features of these rocks, including different types of sandstones and their densification processes, are described using advanced techniques such as SEM and Raman spectroscopy. The diagenetic evolution of these tight sandstone reservoirs involves multiple stages of compaction, cementation, quartz dissolution, and various burial and uplift events, leading to the formation of tight sandstone gas reservoirs.

Fluid charging and hydrocarbon accumulation in the sweet spot, Ordos Basin, China

Wen Zhao et al.

Summary: This study proposes a novel method to simulate the fluid charging and hydrocarbon accumulation processes in tight reservoirs. The results show that the presence of fractures is favorable for hydrocarbon charging into the reservoir rocks, but not for hydrocarbon accumulation.

Study on the Pore Structure and Fractal Dimension of Tight Sandstone in Coal Measures

Jingyi Wang et al.

Summary: This study characterized the pore structure of a tight sandstone reservoir in the Carboniferous Benxi Formation coal-bearing strata in the Ordos Basin, revealing differences in pore characteristics among different types of reservoirs and the relationship between pore structure and reservoir properties. The results indicate that pore structure plays a significant role in reservoir permeability and flow capacity, with grain connectivity and pore morphology having a substantial impact on reservoir properties.

Reservoirs characteristics and environments evolution of lower permian transitional shale in the Southern North China Basin: Implications for shale gas exploration

Xiaoguang Yang et al.

Summary: Transitional shale gas, rich in type III organic matter and having obvious lamellation, presents a different sedimentary environment and reservoir characteristics compared to marine shale. Studying the preservation capacity is crucial for understanding whether natural gas formed in these shales would be lost. Research in the Southern North China Basin has shown high macropore proportions and TOC content in transitional shale, indicating the need for further investigation on preservation capacity.

Differences in hydrocarbon composition of shale oils in different phase states from the Qingshankou Formation, Songliao Basin, as determined from fluorescence experiments

Longhui Bai et al.

Summary: The phase state of shale oil significantly affects its mobility. This study evaluated properties of shale oils in different phases and found that FO is the dominant phase in the Q1 Formation. Fluorescence techniques were effective in distinguishing different oil phases. Carbonate enrichment may lead to misidentification of sweet spots using QGF.
