Tight sand gas is an important unconventional natural gas. Liquid filtration plays a main role in the formation damage. Flowback rate is closely related to the formation permeability recovery. Usually, the more flowback rate is, the better the permeability recovery is. In order to research the factors that influence the liquid flowback, the tight sand characteristics and gas displacement have ...

The tabulation reflects the fact that more porosity than density data for sedimentary rocks are available in the literature. The stratigraphic nomenclature in this report is from various sources and does not necessarily follow

Jan 26, 2016· Quartz is the most important sand-forming mineral and occurs in very many sand types but usually not exclusively. In this sand type (which is aptly named quartz sand), quartz is almost the sole component of sand. Similar sandstones are called quartz arenites or orthoquartzites.. Fine-grained quartz sand from the St Peter formation (Ordovician sandstone) from Minnesota, USA.

Specifically, the porosity, ϕ, of a mixture can be expressed in terms of the porosity of the two end‐member components (in this work, pure quartz, ϕ Q and pure kaolinite, ϕ K ) such that a simple relationship describes the dependence of the mixture porosity on …

1. Introduction [2] Porosity, defined as the ratio of pore volume to total volume, is one of the key properties of a fluvial sand‐gravel mixture and an important parameter in morphological, ecological, geological, and geotechnical applications. Morphologically, the porosity exerts a strong influence on the rate of bed level changes that occur in water systems.

porosity might be about 0.3 in a granular me-dium. The structural component represents nonrandom structural influences, including macropores and is arithmetically defined as the difference between the textural porosity and the total porosity. The texture of the medium relates in a gen-eral way to the pore-size distribution, as large

Porosity or void fraction is a measure of the void (i.e. "empty") spaces in a material, and is a fraction of the volume of voids over the total volume, between 0 and 1, or as a percentage between 0% and . Strictly speaking, some tests measure the "accessible void", the total amount of void space accessible from the surface (cf. closed-cell foam).. There are many ways to test porosity in a ...

Ductile, clay-rich sand grains control porosity and permeability in the fluvio-deltaic Oligocene and lower Miocene sandstones of the South China Sea. Ductile grains account for between approximately 5 and 50% of the original sand grain population. There is a pronounced loss of porosity with increasing burial depth in the basin.

We use both an artificial porous "sandstone" sample, with cracks, built using quartz-sand and Berea sandstone samples. The artificial sample is a cube with 39% porosity. Its permeability levels are anisotropic: 14.7 D, 13.8 D, and 8.3 D in the x-, y-, and z-directions, respectively.

heat conduction in the earth. (An earlier compilation is in Robertson, 1979.) In figures 1-13 the effects of porosity, water content, and quartz, olivine, pyroxene, and clay content on conductivities of most felsic and mafic rocks are shown. Data for other less-common igneous rocks are listed in table 1. Anisotropy data for metamorphic rocks are

Mar 13, 2019· The user will be able to interpret the lithology by using several logs, there are gamma ray, spontaneous potential, resistivity, and density log.Basically, a formation with high gamma ray reading indicates that it is a shaly or shale, when the low gamma ray reading indicates a clean formation (sand, carbonate, evaporite, etc.), lithology interpretation is very important in reservoir ...

Figure 14.3 shows how little influence up to 35% porosity changes have on the P e values for quartz, limestone and dolomite. Figure 14.3 P e as a function of porosity and fluid content. The PEF log is therefore sensitive to differences in the mean atomic number of a formation without

An improved model and method for analyzing oil and gas well logs is disclosed.

Aug 07, 2015· It depends on several factors. First, what's the density of the minerals that make up the sand in question. Keep in mind that Sand is a name refering to how big the grains are and not what they are made of. Though most sand is made either of Quar...

48% to 14%. Thus, porosity is dependent on the grain size distribution and the arrangement of the grains, as well as the amount of cementing materials. Not all grains are spherical, and grain shape also influences porosity. A typical reservoir sand is illustrated in Fig. 2d. Fig. 2 Cubic packing (a), rhombohedral (b), cubic packing with two ...
