Quantitative characterization of permeability heterogeneity of tight-sand reservoirs using nano-CT technology: A case study of the Yanchang Formation, Ordos Basin by Junlong Liu, Xiangchun Zhang

“…In this study, a low-permeability sandstone sample and two tight sandstone samples collected from the Ordos Basin were nondestructively tested using high-resolution nano-CT technology to quantitively characterize their microscopic pore throat structures and model them three-dimensionally (in 3D) based on CT threshold differences and gray models. A thorough analysis and comparison reveal that the three samples exhibit a certain positive correlation between their porosity and permeability but the most important factor affecting both porosity and permeability is the microscopic pore throat structure. …”
