Description
Pore size distribution (PSD) is a key parameter in Shale & Tight (S&T) reservoir evaluation, significantly contributing to our understanding of storage capacity and distribution / producibility of reservoir fluids. We have taken a collaborative approach to develop a new workflow for evaluation of PSD through the integration of (lab-based) 2D Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) T2 distributions. Our method uses large area SEM imaging and incorporates data from two different detectors to improve statistics of PSD. Application of this workflow on a variety of S&T formation samples has demonstrated promising results, enabling downhole in-situ PSD estimation for an entire NMR logged wellbore interval. This new technique has the potential to yield several impactful outcomes including improved understanding of in-situ PSD, faster / enhanced petrophysical evaluation, and improved forecasting of resource production.
