Microstructure Characterization Techniques for Shale Reservoirs: A Review

Microstructure Characterization Techniques for Shale Reservoirs: A Review

The microstructure of shale reservoirs refers to the distribution of mineral–organic matter, pore–fracture features, diagenetic processes, and their interrelations. The comprehensive and accurate analysis of the shale microstructure plays a critical role in formulating a reasonable development plan...
