Geochemical Properties and Pore Structure Control on Oil Extraction of Shale by Dengke Liu, Junwei Su, Zhaolin Gu, Yiru Qi, Fu Yang, Tao Tian, Feng Ye

“…We identify the pore structure mechanism—mesopores predominantly or micropores abundantly (increase free fluid index) and absence of inorganic or organic pores (decrease free fluid index)—responsible for the oil extraction capability and show that the unmovable fluid stained in the voids would lead to the slow rate decay of the curves, which caused the nonsignal disturbance. …”

Effects of pore size and pore connectivity on trapped gas saturation by Dias Caroline H., Eler Felipe M., Cordeiro Carlos, Ramirez Mateus G., Soares José A., Nunes Denise, Lima Maira C.O., Couto Paulo

“…Results indicate a lower capacity of gas trapping in carbonate rocks in which micro- and mesopores predominate. Results also indicate that in carbonate rocks, pore size exerts a greater influence on the ability of gas trapping compared to pore connectivity, so that rocks with a predominance of macropores have greater capacity for gas trapping, even when the macropores are well interconnected. …”
