Determination of effective porosity of mudrocks: a feasibility study
Matrix diffusion is believed to be an important transport process within the double-porosity (primary sedimentary porosity and secondary fracture porosity) mudrock-dominated stratigraphic units on the Oak Ridge Reservation (ORR). Effective porosity is identified as an important parameter for evaluating and modeling matrix diffusion as a transport process. This report identifies, summarizes and evaluates petrophysical techniques, which can be used to determine the effective porosity of mudrock. Most of the techniques found their original application in the petroleum industry for the evaluation of reservoir rocks.
