Abstract
Results provide previously unavailable insight on nanoscale fracture apertures, intensity and orientation; pore throat mineralogy and connectivity; rock matrix characteristics, mineralogy, and organic content; and calculated absolute permeability in the vertical and horizontal direction. These results are being integrated into laboratory and modeling research activities to determine the fundamental mechanisms controlling fluid transport in the Bakken, which will support EOR scheme design and estimation of CO2 storage potential in tight oil formations.
