Investigation into the Pore Structure and Multifractal Characteristics of Shale Reservoirs through N2 Adsorption: An Application in the Triassic Yanchang Formation, Ordos Basin, Ch... by Zhikai Liang, Zhenxue Jiang, Zhuo Li, Fenglin Gao, Xiaoqing Liu

“…The TOC of SM and MS lithofacies exhibits a close correlation with Δα, suggesting that the pores in organic matter are dominated by those nanopores with a complex and heterogeneous pore structure. The rock composition of the lithofacies can affect Δα to a varying extent, which means that the minerals have an evident impact on the heterogeneity of MS and SM lithofacies.…”
