Abstract:

Sandstones are enriched in deep energy reservoirs and also exist as outcrop rocks, where the pore characteristics of sandstone are influenced by hydration absorption and thermal effects. To study the influence of the initial temperature on the hydration absorption characteristics of outcrop porous sandstone in the Mogao Grottoes, China, an intelligent experimental device for rock hydration was used. The hydration absorption characteristics and temperature effects of sandstone were analyzed by using infrared thermography techniques to monitor the infrared radiation characteristics of the sandst

Abstract:

Studies of hydrocarbon migration and enhanced oil recovery focus on the effects of reservoir heterogeneity on subsurface fluid flow and distribution. Differential diagenesis in clastic rock reservoirs is an important factor of internal-reservoir heterogeneity and its relationship to hydrocarbon charges is a key scientific issue for understanding hydrocarbon accumulation mechanisms in tight-sandstone reservoirs. This paper focuses on the ninth member of the Upper Triassic Yanchang Formation (Chang 9), located in the central and western Ordos Basin, China. The aims of the paper are to examine th

A special type of sandstone in which carbonate rock fragments (CRFs) dominate the composition developed in the Upper Triassic Xujiahe Formation’s fourth member (Xu4) in the western Sichuan Basin, known as calcareous sandstone. Calcareous sandstones are widely distributed in the western Sichuan and is the main production target of tight sandstone gas in the Sichuan Basin. In this study, thin sections, porosity–permeability testing, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction are applied to examine the characteristics and control factors for high-quality reservoirs in the calcareous sand

Dispersion of elastic-wave velocity is common in sandstone and larger in shaly sandstone than in clean sandstone. Dispersion in fluid-saturated shaly sandstone often exceeds the level expected from the stress-dependent elastic moduli of dry sandstone. The large dispersion has been coined clay squirt and is proposed to originate from a pressure gradient between the clay microporosity and the effective porosity. We have formulated a simple model that quantifies the clay-squirt effect on bulk moduli of sandstone with homogeneously distributed shale laminae or dispersed shale. The model prediction

The term sandstone is used for wide range of rocks containing quartz clasts which can be cemented by secondary precipitated quartz or calcite; moreover the space between clasts can be filled by matrix. These facts result in existence of numerous rocks having highly various properties. Sandstones have been used as construction materials due to their good accessibility and workability. Since most of sandstones are porous, water vapor can penetrate through sandstone constructions. The rate of water vapor diffusion, as well as the vapor sorption isotherm, was determined for range of sandstone type

Overpressure is often encountered in the Jurassic tight and the overpressure is closely associated with gas generation. The pressure transfer from the over-pressurized mudstones to adjacent tight sandstones might occur through overpressure induced-fractures. The fine-grained coal containing Jurassic sandstone is sensitive to compaction, and the porosity decreases dramatically with the increase of overlying load. As gas migrates into the tight sandstones, it must overcome the capillary pressure which is greater than the hydrostatic pressure. The gas charging pressure in the tight sandstone must

Four facies associations are classified based on facies types, sedimentary structures and facies successions, these are; distal slope apron siliciclasticcalciturbidites (siliciclastic/ carbonate dominated), proximal marine siliciclasticcalciturbidites (carbonate/ siliciclastic dominated), distal basinal fan siliciclastic turbidites (siliciclastic dominated) and proximal basinal fan siliciclasticcalciturbidites (carbonate/ siliciclastic dominated). The most important characteristic representative facies types are; ball and pillows dolomite (reported here for the first time), thick fissile shale

Abstract:

The Lower Jurassic Ahe Formation is an important exploration target for deep clastic reservoirs in the eastern Kuqa Depression. The Ahe Formation sandstones show heterogeneous porosity and permeability petrophysical properties. These properties have been poorly understood, limiting forecast of petroleum accumulations and making it difficult to develop the reservoirs. Based on cores, thin sections, SEM, and fluid inclusions, this study examined sandstone composition and texture and diagenetic heterogeneity at the core scale. The aim was to understand the influence of variations in detrital comp

Abstract:

The Upper Morrow sandstones in the western Anadarko Basin have been prolific oil producers for more than five decades. Detection of Morrow sandstones is a major problem in the exploration of new fields and the characterization of existing fields because they are often very thin and laterally discontinuous. Until recently compressional wave data have been the primary resource for mapping the lateral extent of Morrow sandstones. The success with compressional wave datasets is limited because the acoustic impedance contrast between the reservoir sandstones and the encasing shales is small. Here,

Abstract. Water is a prevalent deterioration agent for historic masonry works, especially those made of clay-bearing sandstones. To preserve cultural heritage made of sandstone, it is important to monitor, and then detect the regions with water retention or stone deterioration. To that aim, we investigate the prospects of terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) intensities for quantifying moisture in sandstone. Through a series of experiments following the drying processes of sandstone samples, we verify that TLS intensities can serve as moisture proxies for remote-sensing water retention. We identify

Abstract:

The injection of carbon dioxide (CO2) is an essential technology for maximizing the potential of hydrocarbon reservoirs while reducing the impact of greenhouse gases. However, because of the complexity of this injection, there will be many different chemical reactions between the formation fluids and the rock minerals. This is related to the clay content of sandstone reservoirs, which are key storage targets. Clay content and clay types in sandstone can vary substantially, and the influence of these factors on reservoir-scale CO2-water-sandstone interactions has not been managed appropriately.

ABSTRACT There has long been debate about the origin of long, linear, isolated shallow marine sandstones. In the 1980s these were routinely interpreted as wave- or tide-modulated shelf sandstones. With the advent of sequence stratigraphy, many of these sandstones were reinterpreted as top-truncated forced-regressive to lowstand delta or shoreface, inviting the question regarding whether the concept of a shelf sandstones remain a viable depositional model. More recent syntheses demonstrate that shelf sands tend to be derived by reworking of underlying sediment through transgressive erosion and

These are the Elbe Sandstones in Saxony, the Wealden Sandstones and the Bentheimer Sandstone in Lower Saxony and the Baumberger Sandstone in North Rhein-Westfalia. All of these are still quarried, and all can be used as building stone as well as for sculptures. They are introduced with their special features and their use over the centuries.

According to experiments on pure clay rocks, illite rocks have the highest porosity, followed by montmorillonite rocks and chlorite rocks.
