  • As an important type of unconventional reservoirs, tight oil and gas reservoirs are characterized by small pore scale and obvious micro-heterogeneity. The exploration potential is vast despite the major theoretical challenges in greatly improving the recovery rate of resources. In this study, the micro anisotropic characteristics of pores and minerals in continental tight sandstone reservoirs in Ordos basin, China, are quantitatively analyzed by means of "umbrella deconstruction". The case study shows that there is a significant micro anisotropy in the micro pore-throat development in eight directions, and the development characteristics of the anisotropic filler are obviously different. With the change of sampling angle, the micro pores show continuously unsteady distribution. The fractal dimension could characterize the porosity, permeability and pore-throat development probability. The study can provide important theoretical support and practical basis for revealing the mechanism of tight reservoir permeability, "sweet spot" distribution and guiding the effective development of tight oil and gas.
