Carbonate rocks are considered to be essential reservoirs for human development, but known highly heterogeneous and difficult fully characterize. To better understand carbonate systems, studying pore-scale is needed. For this purpose, three blocks of (chalk, enthrocal limestone, dolomite) were cored into 30 samples with diameters 18 mm lengths 25 mm. They characterized from pore core scale labo...

Mature, synrift lacustrine shales of Eocene to Oligocene age and mature, late-rift coals and coaly shales of Oligocene to Miocene age are source rocks for oil and gas in two important petroleum systems of the onshore and offshore areas of the Northwest Java Basin. Biogenic gas and carbonate-sourced gas have also been identified. These hydrocarbons are trapped primarily in anticlines and fault b...

Introduction: The compositions of Martian (SNC) meteorites provide geochemical parameters thought to be diagnostic for Mars [1,2]. The validity of these geochemical fingerprints is important because SNC element ratios are the basis for estimates of the planet’s bulk composition [3]. The compositions of minerals in these meteorites are distinct from terrestrial rocks and are also hypothesized to...

Soil degradation, including rocky desertification, of the karst regions in China is severe. Karst landscapes are especially sensitive to soil degradation as carbonate rocks are nutrient-poor and easily eroded. Understanding the balance between soil formation and soil erosion is critical for long-term soil sustainability, yet little is known about the initial soil forming processes on karst terr...

Abstract A significant behavior of carbonate reservoirs is poor correlation between porosity and permeability. With the same porosity, permeability can vary by three orders magnitude or more. An accurate estimation for reservoir has been a challenge many years. The aim this study was to establish relationships pore throat, This indicates that throat radius corresponding mercury saturation 20% (...

Several AVO cross plot methods were compared using well data from 5 exploration drilled in deep water block in Krishna-Godavari basin. This study shows that AVO Impedance vs. Acoustic Impedance cross plot provides the best separation between gas bearing sands, water bearing sands and shale/clay. AVO Impedance (AVOI) attribute derived by normalizing the Acoustic Impedance (AI) and Elastic Impeda...

Introduction: Most asteroids for which porosities have been inferred have porosities ranging from 20% to >50%, with a mean of ~30% porosity [1]. Porosity significantly affects the physical properties of rocks, including the strength, thermal conductivity, seismic velocity, and dielectric permeability. Some asteroids have high enough porosities to affect their internal structure, gravitational f...

Abstract Carbonate reservoirs accommodate a significant proportion of global hydrocarbon reserves. However they are often tight and permeability is therefore usually dependent on either flow through existing fractures or those produced by hydraulic stimulation. Hence, understanding how fracture networks develop in carbonate reservoir rocks key to efficient effective production. However, despite...

Important features of the topology of the pore space of rocks can be usefully quantiied by analyzing digitized images of rock cross sections. One approach computes statistical correlation functions using modern image processing techniques. These correlation functions contain information about porosity, speciic surface area, tortuosity, formation factor, and elastic constants, as well as the uid...

Understanding the permeability-porosity relationships is key to improving reservoir prediction and exploitation especially in carbonate reservoirs, which are known for their complex textural diagenetic variation. Rock type classifications have long been proven be an effective technique establishing permeability- porosity relationships, enhance capability capture various flow behavior uncored zo...
