The complete characteristics knowledge of clay minerals is necessary in the evaluation
studies of hydrocarbon reservoirs. Ten samples taken from two wells in a heterogeneous …

The Hang**qi area was explored for natural gas around 40 years ago, but the efficient
consideration in this area was started around a decade ago for pure gas exploration. Many …

The tight gas reserves in the Hang**qi area are estimated at 700× 109 m3. Since the
exploration of the Hang**qi, numerous wells are already drilled. However, the Hang**qi …

Precision porosity and facies determinations are critical in reducing drilling uncertainty and
increasing hydrocarbon recoveries from heterogeneous sources. The porosity and facies …

Abstract The Upper Triassic Chang 8 sandstone reservoir is an important target for tight oil
exploration in the southwestern Ordos Basin (China). The reservoir quality and …

As petroleum industry tilts towards unconventional petroleum resources, the significance of
fractures in exploration and development becomes increasingly prominent. In this study, thin …

The densification mechanism of the Lower Cretaceous sandstone in the western Tabei Uplift
is still unclear, restricting successful petroleum exploration and development. Seismic …

Tight sandstone reservoirs have excellent potential as oil and gas exploration fields. During
exploitation, drilling upsets the stress balance of the reservoir. The top priority is studying the …

Reservoir parameters, such as porosity, saturation, and clay volume, are directly related to
the hydrocarbon-bearing properties of potential reservoirs, of which estimation is one of the …

The development of tight gas reservoirs within the Ordos basin is closely related to the
tectonic evolution. In this study, homogenization temperature of aqueous inclusions and the …
