Insight into Water Occurrence and Pore Size Distribution by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance in Marine Shale Reservoirs, Southern China

Mianmo Meng et al.

Summary: This study investigates the water occurrence and pore size distribution in moderate-shallow and deep marine shales using various experimental methods. The results show that deep shales have abundant organic nanopores, while moderate-shallow shales have few organic pores. The high irreducible water saturation in both types of shales is attributed to the strong capillary force of the nanopores. The study provides insights into the characterization of water occurrence and pore size distribution in marine shales.

Control of complex lithofacies on the shale oil potential in ancient alkaline lacustrine basins: The Fengcheng Formation, Mahu Sag, Junggar basin

Jiahao Lv et al.

Summary: The study focuses on the ultra-deep oil and gas reservoirs in hydrocarbon-bearing basins, particularly the significance of lithofacies heterogeneity in deep-buried shale oil potential.

Pore network characterization of shale reservoirs through state-of-the-art X-ray computed tomography: A review

Qing Liu et al.

Summary: X-ray computed tomography (X-ray CT) scanning is a non-destructive visualization technology that can be used to characterize multiscale shale pore structures and assess their permeability. Various imaging techniques, such as micro-CT, nano-CT, FIB-SEM, and contrast agent injections, provide a powerful approach for evaluating shale microstructures. Additionally, digital rock physics (DRP) based on 3D visualization can be used for flow modeling and predicting transport properties. CT scanning can also capture the significant evolution of microstructures during geological processes or hydrocarbon exploitation.

Effects of types and content of clay minerals on reservoir effectiveness for lacustrine organic matter rich shale

Lian-hua Hou et al.

Summary: The lacustrine shale in China has higher clay mineral content compared to marine shale, which greatly impacts the quality of hydrocarbon reservoirs. The composition and content of clay minerals vary among different shale systems, resulting in differences in pore structures and hydrocarbon contents. The development of clay mineral-related pores and fractures is controlled by thermal maturity and the content of terrigenous minerals. It is important to investigate the evolution of clay minerals in lacustrine shales to evaluate their hydrocarbon generation potential and accumulation mechanisms.

Study of the structure and development of oil deposits in carbonate reservoirs using field data and X-ray microtomography

D. A. Martyushev et al.

Summary: The integrated use of modern methods in the study of complex carbonate reservoirs is important in understanding the geological structure and development of oil deposits. This study showcases the advantages of using core research methods such as X-ray microtomography and electron microscopy, along with hydrodynamic and field studies. Through comprehensive analysis of core samples from two neighboring fields, differences in mineral composition and void space structure were identified, indicating the potential deformation of the reservoir space. This finding suggests that the deformation of the reservoir space is the most likely explanation for the different decline rates in well flow rates.
