Abstract
A classified characterization method for connectivity of organic matter (OM)-hosted pores in shale includes: scanning a shale sample according to a preset imaging area through a scanning electron microscope to acquire a 2D image of the shale sample; extracting pore parameters of each OM in the 2D image by Avizo software; acquiring a class number of OM sets according to the pore parameters; performing 3D reconstruction on each class of OM sets through a focused ion beam-helium ion microscope to acquire reconstructed 3D models of the OM; acquiring a pore connectivity parameter by the Avizo software; and acquiring an evaluation index for overall connectivity of the OM-hosted pores in the shale based on the pore connectivity parameter. The classified characterization method is based on the morphologically quantitative classification of the OM-hosted pores, and can realize the 3D characterization of connectivity of pores below 10 nm.
