A New Image Processing Workflow for the Detection of Quartz Types in Shales: Implications for Shale Gas Reservoir Quality Prediction

A New Image Processing Workflow for the Detection of Quartz Types in Shales: Implications for Shale Gas Reservoir Quality Prediction

A shale lithofacies scheme is commonly used to characterize source rock reservoirs of the Lower Cambrian Niutitang Formation. However, this classification ignores that individual components such as quartz may have different origins, potentially affecting reservoir quality. The main objective of this...
