Effect of Shale Sample Particle Size on Pore Structure Obtained from High Pressure Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry

Figure 11

The relationship between pore structure parameters and particle size: (a) skeletal density and bulk density; (b) porosity and permeability calculated according to Katz and Thompson (1986); (c) median pore diameter and average pore diameter; (d) total mercury intrusion volume and total pore area.
