Contrast-matching experiments to quantify pore connectivity in dolomites

DOI

Geologists are increasingly realizing the unique perspective that neutron scattering offersforunlocking the complex geologic histories of rocks. In this study, we propose to answerthequestions: What controls the formation and evolution of sub-micrometer porosity withincarbonatereservoirs? and Which of these pores are physically accessible to reservoir fluids (i.e.,water or hydrocarbons)? We will combine contrast-matching SANS to assess the sub-micrometerpore size distribution within carbonate reservoir sample and describe which of these pores areaccessible to contrast-matched fluids. From these results, we will begin to develop acategorization of where sub-micrometer porosity will exist within carbonate reservoirs, and therebygain a better understanding of the utility of particular formations for various uses.
