The pore structure of unconventional gas reservoirs, despite having a significant impact on hydrocarbon storage and transport, has historically been difficult to characterize because of …
In this study of the Triassic Montney tight gas siltstone play in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin petrophysical measurements of drill-core samples (porosity, pore throat …
We conduct spontaneous imbibition experiments, using oil and water, to compare the wetting behavior of rock samples from the Montney (MT) and the Horn River (HR), two …

The combination of horizontal drilling and multistage hydraulic fracturing technology has unlocked production of petroleum from tight/shale rock. Prediction of single or multistage …
The abundant hydrocarbon resources in low-permeability formations are now technically accessible because of advances in the drilling and completion of multilateral/multifractured …
Recent studies show that the pore network of unconventional rocks, such as gas shales, generally consists of inorganic and organic parts. The organic part is strongly oil-wet and …
The petrographic study of organic matter (OM) in fine-grained, shale and tight rocks can be complicated by ambiguities in distinguishing primary kerogen (deposited OM) from …
