  • Methods of determining shale pore connectivity
    Patent number: 10359379
    Abstract: A method of using NMR to estimate pore connectivity in a shale formation by estimating organic pore connectivity in a first sample of the shale formation and inorganic pore connectivity in a second sample of the shale formation based on uptake of brine and hydrocarbon phases. Porosity partitioning of the shale formation may be estimated with a third sample of the shale formation.
    Type: Grant
