If surface interactions with potassium-rich phyllosilicates are important in silica mobilization, it would not be surprising to find that this process is active in shales. The interconnection of vug-fracture is expressed by a probabilistic factor f, indicating the degree of fracture-vug connection. Their extremely narrow but elongate morphology prohibits larger contributions toward overall porosity, despite large quantities of micas being present. More recently, Valdes-Perez et al. Laboratory determination of porosity generally requires dry samples. Figure 2.6. Uniaxial stress is less than hydrostatic stress, and consequently, the hydrostatic strain measured in the laboratory should be converted to an equivalent reservoir (uniaxial) strain. 26. Sandstone microfacies (VSND and DSND, excluding the dolomitic dissolution pores in the DSND), contribute 0.06% and 0.78% toward total porosity, representing 0.7% and 21.1% of pore network porosity. Facies DSND pore size characterization (200m Scale). A practical method for modelling fluid and heat flow in fractured porous media. Schematic of MINC grid showing the division of original cubic blocks into groups, each containing a fracture block and a set of nested matrix blocks (more matrix blocks are possible than the two shown). Understanding of karst geomorphology concepts is a challenge particularly because much of the karst system lies below the surface, where direct observation is hardly possible. 
A possible role for brittle processes in pressure solution is an intriguing possibility that remains to be investigated. Two parameters are specific to the dual-porosity model: the storativity ratio (Eq. 23.8D). (A) Feldspar dissolution along cleavage planes (PPL; well X41, depth 1009.1m; LF 2). Proportionally, secondary pore typecontributions toward total porosity across all microfacies at the two separate scales are as follows: Unlike primary pore types, secondary pore types are predominantly nanoporous in size and consist of fractures, shrinkage cracks, framboidal pores, dissolution pores and mica-based pore types. Ningliang Sun, A.J. Copyright 2022 Elsevier B.V. or its licensors or contributors. Many of these discrepancies, however, can be explained by noting differences in the definition and assessment of porosity (Figure 1). Shrinkage cracks in microfacies MRSL are completely nanoporous. Three basic pore groups can be recognized:[5] fabric selective, not fabric selective, and fabric selective or not (Table 1 and Figure 3).

Many minerals will dissolve during deposition and subsequent diagenesis. Fig. Bulk volume can also be determined by immersing a small sample in a nonwetting fluid. If hydrocarbons cannot be removed with toluene, toluene/methanol (azeotrope), chloroform/methanol (azeotrope), methylene chloride or carbon disulfide may be used. The equipment used to measure grain volume and pore volume are similar with the exception of the sample chamber. Sadiq J. Zarrouk, Katie McLean, in Geothermal Well Test Analysis, 2019. Residual oil saturation was evaluated in the Erlich model24 on a 12 12 array by a random process according to the intercommunication probability. A mechanism for mobilizing quartz by chemical means rather than directly by pressure has been proposed as the primary cause for the dissolution of quartz along pressure solution seams (Bjrkum, 1996; Renard et al., 1997). The theoretical effects of grain size and packing on porosity were investigated by Graton and Fraser[7] who computed the porosity of various packing arrangements of uniform spheres. Shrinkage cracks also produce negligible quantities of porosity and microporosity where present. 36. 5.8B). Facies MRSL pore size characterization (50m Scale). This page has been accessed 146,338 times. In the laboratory, the core is often placed in an apparatus consisting of a flexible rubber boot inside a core holder (Figure 5). Some reservoirs have distinct primary and secondary porosity. Facies VSND pore size characterization (50m Scale). Connections with the matrix blocks are internal within the group; matrix blocks do not connect directly with any part of a different block group. Total porosity from a density log would equate with the disaggregated oven-dried total porosity from cores. Fig. Ehrlich, R., S. K. Kennedy, S. J. Crabtree, and R. C.

This is not surprising given the kinetic and nucleation limitations on quartz precipitation (Oelkers et al., 1996; Walderhaug, 1996) and the fact that the silica geothermometer does not work well in sedimentary basins (Land and Macpherson, 1992a). : New York, Harper and Row, p. 628. 27. 
Total porosity includes all void space regardless of whether the pores are interconnected or isolated. However, so-called oversized pores are commonly cited as evidence for the complete dissolution of grains and, although such claims are sensible, proof of secondary porosity creation is lacking. The DSND microfacies, which has a dolomite dominated intergranular pore space, has a dissolution-based porosity of 0.43% of which microporosity contributes 0.22%, representing 51.1% of dolomite dissolution-based porosity (Figs. However, in the VSND larger microporous shrinkage cracks are present. Stable isotopic heterogeneity within quartz grain assemblages also documents the detrital diversity of quartz grain assemblages (Blatt, 1987; Hervig et al., 1995; Williams et al., 1997). After some period the primary porosity in the matrix will begin to respond, flowing into the fractures and causing the pressure derivative to dip, though once established will return to the flat derivative (second semilog straight line) (Horne, 1995). 311326., 10., 2118/10681-PA. Pittman, E. D., 1979, Porosity, diagenesis, and productive capability of sandstone reservoirs, in P. A. Scholle, and P. R. Schluger, eds., Aspects of Diagenesis: Society Economic Paleontologists and Mineralogists Special Publication 26, p. 159173. Although fracture porosity is very common in carbonate rocks, it is generally less than 1% of the bulk volume in both clastic and carbonate reservoirs. This is also a function of the irreducible water saturation. Under reducing conditions, burial diagenesis (6070C) generates dolomite by replacing earlier minerals at a depth of a few kilometers. 33. 40. This indicates that grain loss is far smaller than estimates based on light microscopy. After the pressure stabilizes, the fully saturated sample is removed from the saturator, immediately rolled on an absorbent material to remove the surface film of saturating fluid, and weighed. This dual-porosity model is equally applicable to fractured or vugular reservoirs. Fig. Detrital quartz grains display heterogeneity in luminescence intensity, color, and texture, reflecting differences in trace element content and crystal defect characteristics inherited from source rocks (Zinkernagel, 1978; Ramseyer et al., 1988; Houseknecht, 1991; Owen, 1991; Milliken, 1994a; Seyedolali et al., 1997; Boggs et al., 2002). An experimental study by Okandan et al. Siltstone microfacies (ILRS, OM/ILS, MRSL, and DOMS) contribute 0.140.64% toward total porosity, representing 2.239.22% of the pore network. 30. The fully saturated sample is first weighed in air, and reweighed while immersed in the wetting fluid. Porosity values for other packing arrangements (Figure 4) can be calculated. (2013) have developed a new analytical dual-porosity model with a fractal fracture network, by incorporating the GRF concept discussed in the next section. In the reservoir, however, the resolved stress component is uniaxial. The MINC method effectively takes a grid and divides each block into a group of blocks: a fracture block and within this a number of nested matrix blocks (up to 5 nested matrix blocks) (Fig. 5.9). J. In some cases, some secondary pores of dissolved feldspar were filled with clay minerals, mainly kaolinite and illite (Fig. LF, lithofacies; PPL, plane polarized light. These measurements are done with specially designed Boyle's law (pore volume) porosimeters, similar to that shown in Figure 5, which apply hydrostatic stress to the sample. The role of pressure solution as a cause of volume loss in late diagenetic shales deserves closer examination in view of the huge volume loss from pelitic rocks (up to 50%) that is postulated at slightly higher temperature in connection with slaty cleavage development and the early stages of metamorphism (e.g., Wright and Platt, 1982; Ague, 1991). Reproduced courtesy of BP. A real-world reservoir cut by fractures (Fig. Quite apart from the difficulties of creating sufficient acid and getting it to the reservoir where secondary porosity is required, it remains difficult to find convincing evidence of large-scale, large-volume mineral dissolution in the deep subsurface. This new model accounts for the transient behaviour of flow between the matrix and fractures (Valdes-Perez et al., 2013). 23. (1988) reproduced drawdown behaviour of single-phase flow using three-dimensional (3D) arrangements of actual marble blocks, which represent zero matrix permeability. Various laboratory techniques are available to determine porosity. Therefore. 25. 39. Primary porosity formed during initial deposition. Grain volume can also be measured by the Boyle's law method. After Houz, O., Viturat, D., Fjaere, O., 2012. Mica-based porosity is negligible, contributing between 0.04% and 0.07% representing between 0.25% and 1.13% of the total network. Oil then followed in the newly created porosity. Facies OMILS pore type characterization (50m Scale). Modern Well Test Analysis: A Computer-Aided Approach. Sandstone microfacies (VSND and DSND, excluding the dissolution pores in the DSND), contribute 0.1% and 0.08% toward total porosity, representing 1.38% and 8.79% of pore network porosity. 1416), with shrinkage cracks and fractures displaying elongate but diametrically constrained morphologies. Pore volume can be measured directly by resaturating a clean, dry rock with a fluid. In the Boyle's law method, helium is used to saturate the sample because it is inert, not easily adsorbed onto mineral surfaces, and (due to its small molecular size) rapidly enters the micropore system. 31. Fig. Secondary porosity, as a result of carbonate dissolution is high, perhaps as high as 30% according to Williams (2008) or 10% according to Klimchouk (2004). Graton, L. C., and H. J. Fraser, 1935, Systematic packing of spheres with particular reference to porosity and. Fig. Factors influencing sample cleaning include the types of hydrocarbon present, the presence of salts precipitated from pore waters, rock mineralogy, degree of cementation, and time constraints.

Fig. Cathodoluminescence evidence supports the notion that detrital quartz (outside of pressure solution) is essentially inert to volumetrically significant reaction with pore fluids even into the early stages of metamorphism. Fig. Facies OMRS pore size characterization (200m Scale). (C) Quartz dissolution (SEM; well X41, depth 1066.3m; LF 1). Calipers can be used to measure uniform samples directly, and bulk volume is calculated from the measured dimensions. Dissolution of quartz is less common and is mostly restricted to the edge of the quartz phases (Fig. Vugular reservoirs contain many small cavities, which can either be primary, forming at the same time as the host rock, or secondary, forming due to subsequent processes. It has been long recognized that pressure solution of quartz is enhanced at grain surfaces in contact with potassium-rich phyllosilicates (Heald, 1955). Karst terrains develop where chemical dissolution dominates over mechanical processes, commonly with well-developed secondary porosity. Different solvents and cleaning techniques can be used to remove hydrocarbons from rocks. Porosity is generated after deposition, and secondary porosity is very important for hydrocarbon. Dissolution-based porosity within argillaceous sediments ranges from 0.12% to 0.57%, of which 0.02% to 0.17% is microporous. Secondary porosity increases as scale increases, highlighting the importance of factoring in the contributions of secondary pore types in pore network modeling. 5.8B). Controls that appear to favor the development of pressure solution include abundant potassium-rich micaceous debris, a history of meteoric water incursion, and elevated temperature (>100C?). Such a role for highly comminuted particles is supported by theoretical work that suggests a role for small-scale surface roughness and fluid channelization in silica mobilization (Wood, 1981; Wiltschko and Sutton, 1982; Gratz, 1991; den Brok, 1998). 43. The neutron log, however, would enlarge the definition to include structural hydroxyl chemistry. Using such models in a fracture-matrix block unit as a pseudo-function it is possible to build a better approach for evaluation of displacement behaviour. Facies OMILS pore size characterization (50m Scale). (D) Dissolution of volcanic dust (PPL; well X40, depth 1071.5m; LF 1). Facies DOMS pore size characterization (50m Scale). Secondary porosity ranges from 0.3% to 6.7% (average 2.7%) and is mainly due to the dissolution of feldspar grains and volcanic rock fragments. Dissolution of either grains or cements in a sandstone leads to the development of secondary porosity. The boundary between epikarst and the percolation zone can be gentle or abrupt (see Fig. 25 (1), 1426. In this case there are 312 possible fracture locations. Babs Oyeneyin, in Developments in Petroleum Science, 2015. Pet. Pressure is then applied to the outside of the rubber boot to seat it against the sample. It is defined as the ratio of void space, commonly called pore volume, to bulk volume and is reported either as a fraction or a percentage. [19] Because porosity is stress dependent, laboratory measurements should be made at stress conditions whenever possible. 16.

Popular amongst the various processes invoked for such widespread dissolution was appeal to organic acids created during the initial phases of oil source rock maturation. (Tom) van Loon, in The Ordos Basin, 2022. The former two values are determined through retorting to the samples at elevated temperature and the latter by direct mercury injection. Berg, R. R., 1970, Method for determining permeability from reservoir rock properties: Transactions Gulf Coast Association of Geological Societies, v. 20, p. 303317. Discrepancies often exist between laboratory determined porosity values and porosities derived from downhole logs. The dual-porosity concept was later generalised for numerical simulation by Pruess and Narasimhan (1985) with the multiple interacting continua (MINC) method. Karst geomorphology concepts have developed considerably during the last decades, mainly due to cave exploration and new research tools. It also varies in importance among units of different bulk composition. Petroway Inc. After Pruess, K., Narasimhan, T., 1985. From: Developments in Sedimentology, 2013, Tanja Pipan, David C. Culver, in Reference Module in Earth Systems and Environmental Sciences, 2021. That is to say, secondary porosity is rarely so extensive as to significantly improve reservoir quality. Four basic porosity types can be recognized in sandstones:[4] (1) intergranular (primary), (2) microporosity, (3) dissolution (secondary), and (4) fracture (Figure 2). Facies DOMS pore type characterization (50m Scale). The epikarst is rarely open enough to be enterable by humans, but some authors include upper level vadose cave passages only a few meters from the surface (Bichuette and Trajano, 2004; Fong, 2004). Pet. However, more recently there is a consensus that exponential fracture spacing is more descriptive of reality, and the shape of the pressure derivative is significantly affected by this distribution (Spivey and Lee, 2000). 5.9) (Mavor and Cinco-Ley, 1979). Gaither[13] showed that when two grain sizes are mixed, porosity is reduced until both grain sizes are present in approximately equal amounts. (B) Sponge spiculite sandstone in which many of the spicules have dissolved (blue pore space) and microcrystalline quartz has precipitated in the original pore space (stained brown by oil), Jurassic Alness Spiculite, North Sea; plane-polarized light photomicrograph. Chemical heterogeneity of detrital quartz grains, and also differences in cathodoluminescence between grains and cements, are ultimately homogenized during metamorphism (Sprunt et al., 1978) as quartz undergoes massive recrystallization, the last of the volumetrically significant detrital phases to do so.
