... Abstract We introduce a measurement and analytical workflow for determining poroelastic and textural properties on core samples using multi-step hysteretic mercury intrusion measurements. Texture is understood here as the pore structure as inferred from mercury injection capillary pressure...

... Abstract We introduce an analytical workflow for determining relative permeability behavior of two-phase matrix flow within low permeability samples using mercury injection capillary pressure (MICP) drainage-imbibition measurements. Low permeability samples often experience wettability...

... Summary Gas transport from shale matrix to fractures depends on the topology of the pore space, which is very difficult to measure directly in large samples. We applied conventional techniques (mercury intrusion capillary pressure (MICP) and N 2 adsorption/desorption) to obtain indirect...

... of organic matter volumes with sufficient space for microbes. Mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) data permit quantification of pore throat size, vital to an understanding of nutrient, ribonucleic acid (RNA), and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) flux between otherwise isolated microbial communities. Results...
