Abstract
The ability to accurately measure rock properties is important to oil and gas field development since the implementation of resources, production forecasts, and the economics of the reservoir are derived from this foundation. This study measured the porosity and permeability of 118 sandstone and 10 Bakken shale samples using a variety of non-destructive methods that are used in industry and can provide a basis for more complex techniques. Measuring these properties can be difficult depending on the composition of the reservoir rock, especially for unconventional shale due to their tight and complex structure. Many of the oil and gas reservoirs are sandstone and carbonates, but significant quantities of oil and gas are produced from low-permeability unconventional shale reservoirs that have been developed in recent years around the world.
