Abstract:Evaluation of thinly laminated shaly sand rocks in the laboratory is challenging due to rock heterogeneity and its complex minerology, for fine scale heterogeneities may result in discrepancies of results obtained from different core analysis methods. In this laboratory study, we address those challenges and present a technique to properly evaluate laminated shaly rock properties for more accurate formation evaluation.
