TLDR
In this paper, small-angle and ultra-small-angle neutron scattering (SANS and USANS), low-pressure adsorption (N2 and CO2), and high-pressure mercury intrusion measurements were performed on a suite of North American shale reservoir samples providing the first ever comparison of all these techniques for characterizing the complex pore structure of shales.About:

Characterization and Analysis of Porosity and Pore Structures
TL;DR: There are a large number of methods for quantifying porosity, and an increasingly complex idea of what it means to do so as discussed by the authors, which is why it is important to quantify the relationships between porosity and storage, transport and rock properties, however, the pore structure must be measured and quantitatively described.

Porosity of Devonian and Mississippian New Albany Shale across a maturation gradient: Insights from organic petrology, gas adsorption, and mercury intrusion
TL;DR: In this paper, the evolution of porosity in shales with increasing maturity was examined in a suite of five New Albany Shale samples spanning a maturity range from immature (vitrinite reflectance, Ro 0.35%) to postmature (Ro 1.41%).

Pore structure characterization of different rank coals using gas adsorption and scanning electron microscopy
TL;DR: In this paper, the pore geometry of coal samples with different metamorphism has been analyzed using low-pressure nitrogen gas adsorption (LP-N2GA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

TL;DR: In this paper, the pore size distribution and 3D pore connectivity are evaluated from NMR and XCT analysis, and the NMR spectrum is also linked to the macroscopic performance, and pore network is determined from N 2 GA, and fractal theory is introduced to explain the irregularity and heterogeneity of pore throat structure characteristics.
