Quantitative Analysis of the Pore Structure of Premature-To-Postmature Organic Rich Mudrocks Using Small Angle Neutron Scattering

Summary The pore structure of organic rich mudrocks is associated with both inorganic and organic constituents. The contribution of organic matter to the pore structure has been investigated on Posidonia and Bossier Shale samples having different organic carbon content and thermal maturity. Development and distribution of organic matter pores were studied by using small angle neutron scattering technique at a broad pore scale size investigation,...
