Overview

Analysis reveals correlative relationships of fractal dimensions with coal and quartz content in shale, suggesting implications for gas reservoir evaluation.

Key Points

  • Reservoir pores are mainly macropores from brittle fracturing and interlayer pores within clay minerals, indicating a unique pore structure.
  • Key findings show a significant positive correlation of fractal dimension D1 with clay mineral content, shedding light on pore complexity.
  • The method used includes analysis via field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and high-pressure mercury intrusion for detailed pore characterization.
  • These insights may enable optimized exploration strategies for Upper Paleozoic coal-bearing shale gas resources in the Yangquan Block.
