Journal ArticleDOI

Specific surface area and pore‐size distribution in clays and shales

TL;DR: In this paper, a nitrogen gas-adsorption technique was used to study the micro- and mesopores in shales and clays and compare the results from conventional mercury porosimetry techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nano-scale texture and porosity of organic matter and clay minerals in organic-rich mudrocks

TL;DR: In this article, a comparative study of pore-size distribution in a burial sequence from the Baltic Basin, along with a selection of samples from other unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs of various age and origin is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Elastic properties of dry clay mineral aggregates, suspensions and sandstones

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the elastic properties of clay minerals using independent experimental methods to measure the elastic moduli of the clay minerals as functions of pressure and saturation, and made a comparison between the accuracy of velocity prediction in shaley sandstones and claywater and clay-sand mixtures using the values measured in this study and those from theoretical models.
Journal ArticleDOI

Elasticity of marine sediments: Rock physics modeling

TL;DR: In this article, the elastic moduli of high-porosity ocean bottom sediments are calculated from those of the dry frame using Gassmann's equation, and the model assigns non-zero elastic constants to the dry-sediment frame and can predict the shear-wave velocity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of pore and differential pressure on compressional wave velocity and quality factor in Berea and Michigan sandstones

TL;DR: In this article, compressive wave velocity (VP) and quality factor (QP) were measured in Michigan sandstones as a function of confining pressure (Pc) to 55 MPa and pore pressure (pp) to 35 MPa.
