Pore Connectivity Characterization Using Coupled Wood’s Metal Intrusion and High-Resolution Imaging: A Case of the Silurian Longmaxi Shales From the Sichuan Basin, China

Pore connectivity is crucial for shale gas production. However, the three-dimensional (3D) characteristics and distribution of pore networks and, more fundamentally, the underlying role of different pore types on pore connectivity in shales are inadequately understood. By comparing the 3D pore conne...
