The Influential Factors and Characteristics of Tight Sandstone Gas Reservoir: A Case Study in Ordos Basin in China

Table 2

Quantitative calculation method of porosity evolution in sandstone reservoir (modified from [39, 40]).

Parameters of porosity evolutionFormula

Primary porosity, %
Residual porosity after compaction, %
Porosity reduction due to cementation, %
Porosity increase due to dissolution, %

Note: this research is not involved in microscopic fractures and pores of interstitial material due to the difficulty in their statistical approach.
