A variable shape distribution (VSD) model for characterization of pore throat radii, drill cuttings, fracture apertures and petrophysical properties in tight, shale and conventional reservoirs

Fractal and power law distributions have been found in the past to be useful for modeling some reservoir properties following the assumptions of constant shape and self-similarity. This study shows, however, that pore throat apertures, fracture apertures, petrophysical and drill cuttings properties...
