Pore-throat sizes in siliciclastic rocks form a continuum from the submillimeter to the
nanometer scale. That continuum is documented in this article using previously published …

Porosity is the most crucial parameter to assess the potential of fine grain rocks like shale.
Shale has very low connected porosity and permeability, which controls the fluid flow and …

Thermal evolution of source rocks and dynamic sealing evolution of cap rocks are both
subjected to tectonic evolution. The marine sequences in South China have experienced …

The petroleum system in the Histria Basin, Western Black Sea, includes Oligocene source
rocks and Upper Cretaceous—Eocene reservoir rocks. Here we report on the petrophysical …

One of the challenges confronting carbon dioxide capture and sequestration (CCS) in
geologic media over extended periods of time is determining the caprock sealing capacity. If …

Understanding mechanisms of fluid flow through shale is very important as these
sedimentary rock act as caprock, key source of unconventional hydrocarbon, seal for …

In CO2 storage sites, seal has a vital role in inhibiting migration of the supercritical CO2 to
other geological strata. The major difficulties in studying seals include two aspects: lack of …

Here, we assess the supercritical carbon dioxide sealing capacity of most common seal-
rocks, such as shales and non-fractured limestones, by analyzing the role of textural and …
