Pore Space Change of Various Lithotypes of the Kerogen Domanic Rocks at Different Heating Rates

Abstract

The results of pore space changes as a result of heating Domanik Formation rock samples at different heating rates are shown. Microtomography method revealed that after heating in significant changes may arise, lens-like large pores can be formed, the number of pores and their coherence increase. It was found that changes in the pore space depend on the texture of rocks, the amount of organic matter and its degree of maturity, with all the factors must be considered together. Heating rate also influences the change in the pore space. The results should been considered in the retrieving of the natural reservoirs formation.
