Abstract
- Pore structure in shale is an important factor influencing the storage capacity of a shale gas reservoir and the effect of shale gas development. Taking the core and outcrop shale samples from the Lower Cambrian Niutitang Formation and Lower Silurian Longmaxi Formation as the object of the research, combined with the scanning electron microscope, high pressure mercury injection, CO2 and N2 gas adsorption experiments, we investigated the porosity, pore types, pore structure, and pore size distribution of the Lower Paleozoic shale gas reservoirs in northern Guizhou, South China. The results indicated that there are developed various genetic types of micro-nano pores in the Lower Paleozoic marine shale in northern Guizhou, which provide the main reservoir spaces for shale gas. The porosity of the Lower Paleozoic shale in northern Guizhou is 1.30%–13.37% in range, and the average is 4.56%. The inter-granular pore, organic matter pore and intra-granular pore are most common.
