Journal ArticleDOI
Morphology, Genesis, and Distribution of Nanometer-Scale Pores in Siliceous Mudstones of the Mississippian Barnett Shale
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used scanning electron microscopy to characterize the pore system in the Barnett Shale of the Fort Worth Basin, Texas, showing that the pores in these rocks are dominantly nanometer in scale (nanopores).
Journal ArticleDOI
Spectrum of pore types and networks in mudrocks and a descriptive classification for matrix-related mudrock pores
TL;DR: In this paper, a pore classification consisting of three major matrix-related pore types is presented that can be used to quantify matrix related pore and relate them to pore networks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural fractures in the Barnett Shale and their importance for hydraulic fracture treatments
TL;DR: In this article, the authors characterized natural fractures in four Barnett Shale cores in terms of orientation, size, and sealing properties, and they measured a mechanical rock property, the subcritical crack index, which governs fracture pattern development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grain assemblages and strong diagenetic overprinting in siliceous mudrocks, Barnett Shale (Mississippian), Fort Worth Basin, Texas
TL;DR: Porosity, permeability, and total organic carbon (TOC) in a heterogeneous suite of 21 high-maturity samples (vitrinite reflectance 1.52-2.15%) from the Barnett Shale in the eastern Fort Worth Basin display few correlations with parameters of rock texture, fabric, and composition, these factors being mostly obscured by the effects of a protracted history of diagenesis.
