The oil and gas industry is developing rapidly. Based on this, it is necessary to determine new methods of productive prospecting of mineral deposits. One of the most high-tech and perspective methods is computer X-ray microtomography. For this stage, this method is widely used for the different fields of geology and geophysics. The main advantage is the ability to study the sample without destruction, which is especially important in the process of working with the kern material. In this paper, the method of computerized X-ray microtomography is highlighted. A comparative analysis of the voids structure of an oil source rock before and after exposure to microwave fields using the standard DataViewer software is clarified. As a result of this analysis, an increase in the diameter of a sample of a cylindrical shape after treatment with microwave fields was established, and the formation of microcracks was also established. Based on the results obtained, assumptions were made about the formation of hydrocarbon deposits. In other words, the paper discusses in detail the method that allows fixing changes in the structure of the void space of rocks as a result of oil and gas generation flowing under the influence of wave fields.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
