Dean-Stark water saturation data can provide an indication of the appropriate Archie parameters to use in early log analysis prior to obtaining centrifuge or porous plate primary drainage capillary pressure...
The nature of component layers of mixed-layer illite-smectite and their possible evolution in the course of illitization have been debated since the 1960s. The present study is a new attempt...
Layer charge (LC) is a fundamental property of smectite but its measurement remains challenging and tedious to apply on a high-throughput basis. The present study demonstrates that the position of...
Surface characteristics of sedimentary opal-A and -CT were investigated for a large collection of samples from the Monterey Formation, California, based on the bulk rock mineral and chemical analysis, cation...
Cation exchange capacity (CEC) is among most important properties of sedimentary rocks, broadly applied in various means of geosciences research and industry. The organic matter (OM) in ancient black shales...
The increasing exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbon resources hosted by oil and gas shales demands the correct measurement of certain properties of sedimentary rocks rich in organic matter (OM). Two...
