Quantitative Characterization of Pore Connectivity and Movable Fluid Distribution of Tight Sandstones: A Case Study of the Upper Triassic Chang 7 Member, Yanchang Formation in Ordo... by Boli Wang, Xisen Zhao, Wen Zhou, Bin Chang, Hao Xu

“…It was found that small pores (r<0.05 μm) contributed 5.02%–18.00% to connectivity, which is less than large pores (r>0.05 μm) with contribution of 36.60%–92.00%, although small pores had greater pore volumes. In addition, a new parameter, effective movable fluid saturation, was proposed based on the initial movable fluid saturation from NMR and the pore connectivity percentage from MIP and NMR. …”
