The Role of Organic Porosity in the Formation of Hydrocarbon Accumulations in Low-permeability Shale Strata

Abstract

Summary An important role in the formation of hydrocarbon accumulations in hydrocarbon-bearing strata is played by organic porosity - void spaces of organic origin formed as a result of the transformation of organic matter into hydrocarbons. The results of the conducted studies of organic porosity make it possible to consider that organic pores in the texture of kerogen make a significant contribution to the space of newly formed reservoirs in the thickness of the oil-material rocks.
