... wettability is sensitive to salinity, different mineral components can react in different patterns (e.g. more water-wet or more oil-wet). Given the mineralogic specificity of wettability alteration, we can leverage the stratigraphic links to mineralogy to target water chemistry to specific pay zones...

..., lamination, mineralogy, resistivities, clay properties, fluid distribution, and porosities. Formation clay mineral total porosity was estimated from petrophysical analyses of logs, X-ray diffraction-based mineralogy and core measurements. Thomas-Stieber plot (Thomas and Stieber, 1975) showed a trend...

... properties to the segmented minerals within the image and can be computationally prohibitive. It is commonly known that mechanical properties, such as Young s modulus, depend not only on the mineralogy, but also the orientation and juxtaposition of the minerals spatially. Our workflow relies on extracting...

... consent of URTeC is prohibited. Abstract Shale fabric is defined by mineralogy, organic components, and porosity networks and is influenced by depositional, biogenic, and diagenetic processes. Quartz fabric within shale is the focus of this work due to often high abundances of quartz, textural diversity...

... Abstract Elastic wave velocities are often used to interpret formation properties, such as porosity, mineralogy, and lithology. Velocity systematics are valuable in creating elastic models when only P-wave sonics exists in legacy wells. Although considerable research has been carried out...

... and 8012 ft. A full suite of triple combo (gamma ray, neutron, density logs), image logs, and advanced logging tools were run in both wells and calibrated to core analysis. Core analysis includes medical computed tomography (CT) scans, mineralogy and chemostratigraphy determined from handheld X-Ray...

The half cores to compare split from one shale core had very close mineralogy, they were treated with brine or acid independently and then form a composite core with a stainless steel half for conductivity measurement. This approach minimized the effect of mineralogy anisotropy in shale...

The calcite in these laminated intervals is more iron rich. This interpretation suggests that lower iron concentrations should be expected...

These properties can be measured from plug samples using a triaxial load frame, but these tests are slow, expensive, and require an intact cylindrical sample. An alternative is to use rock physics modeling applied to mineralogy...
