Abstract(Summary)
Organic matter contributes significantly to total porosity in self-sourced hydrocarbon reservoirs. However, the main controlling factor(s) for development and preservation of organic-hosted porosity are not well understood. By examining the Duvernay Formation of western Canada this study demonstrates an association between matrix composition and organic-hosted porosity. In this study, the contribution of organic- and inorganic-hosted pores in total porosity were quantified by deconvolution of laboratory-based nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) curves. Significant secondary feldspar dissolution porosity in the T2 range of clay-bound water is observed in the wet gas window near Fox Creek.
Summary(Plain Language Summary, not published)
This study presents an interesting examination on the factors influencing organic-hosted porosity. Ratios of biogenic silica and muscovite to TOC act as proxies for subsurface processes, and offer an explanation for local variability in organic-hosted porosity.
