Abstract
A review of the petrographic characterization of petroleum-bearing formations, critical for formation damage analysis, is presented in this chapter. The rock fabric and texture concepts are introduced. Petrographic properties are described in terms of the relevant parameters, including the spherical pore shape approximation, cross-sectional area open for fluid flow, pore connectivity and coordination number, pore and pore-throat size distributions, and textural parameters. The dispersed clay morphology and formation damage tendency are also discussed.
