These segmented images allowed the determination of pore types and the estimation of total, effective, and organic matter associated porosities (PAOM) and organic matter content (TOC). These outputs enhanced the understanding of the flow behavior...

... provided lithology independent total porosity. The difference between the NMR and density porosities provides additional information about organic matter. NMR data was utilized in this case study to identify and differentiate the organic matter and hydrocarbon presence within the X Formation. Acoustic...
