Impacts of Pore Structure on the Occurrence of Free Oil in Lacustrine Shale Pore Networks
The ultimate recovery of shale oil is mostly dependent upon the occurrence and content of free oil within the nano-scaled pore network of shale reservoirs.Due to the nanoporous nature of shale, quantitatively characterizing the occurrence and content of free oil in shale is a formidable undertaking.To tackle this challenge, 12 lacustrine shale samp
