Pore Structure Characteristics and Genesis of Low-Permeability Sandstone Reservoirs in the Eocene Wenchang Formation, Huizhou Sag, Pearl River Mouth Basin, Northern South China Sea

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Porosity and permeability are critical parameters in petroleum exploration and development. The relationship between pore structure and permeability in near-source reservoirs is more closely correlated than in other types of reservoirs.

A New California Oil Boom? Drilling the Monterey Shale [PDF]

, 2013
The Monterey Shale is a vast oil-bearing geologic formation stretching from Southern California almost as far north as San Francisco. The formation has largely been untapped due to its complexity and the challenges presented by the shale's unusual ...

Slip versus dilation tendency parameter space as a tool for prospecting structurally controlled geothermal systems in greenfield: insights from the greater Ruhr region

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study highlights that with the static and time‐dependent evolution of slip versus dilation tendency parameter space, structurally controlled deep geothermal systems can be selected within areas of higher permeability and lower seismic hazard. Abstract Faults play a vital role in the Earth's hydraulic system by facilitating fluid flow when dilating

Construction of a novel brittleness index equation and analysis of anisotropic brittleness characteristics for unconventional shale formations

Petroleum Science, 2019
The brittleness prediction of shale formations is of interest to researchers nowadays. Conventional methods of brittleness prediction are usually based on isotropic models while shale is anisotropic.

Shale oil : potential economies of large-scale production, preliminary phase [PDF]

, 1979
Producing shale oil on a large scale is one of the possible alternatives for reducing dependence of the United States on imported petroleum. Industry is not producing shale oil on a commercial scale now because costs are too high even though ...
