摘要
Artificial shale samples with equivalent vitrinite reflectance values (VRo) ranging from 0.69% to 4.19% were obtained from an anhydrous pyrolysis experiment. Microporous and mesoporous characteristics of these samples were investigated by low-pressure nitrogen and carbon dioxide adsorption techniques. The result shows that the nanoporosity (microporosity plus mesoporosity) increases with thermal maturity after the oil window stage, and this increase is attributed to the formation of porosity within organic matter and/or mineral-organic matter groundmass, rather than in the pure clay minerals. By combining the gas generation and porosity evolution of these shales, a general model for formation and development of the nanoporosity is proposed. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
