Abstract

The demand for accessible fossil fuels has made unconventional reservoirs more and more important as alternative energy resources. Unlike conventional reservoirs that have been characterized through numerous methodologies, unconventional formations have not yet undergone advanced characterization, and much remains to be done. Laser technology has the advantages of non-contact, high sensitivity and immunity from electromagnetic interference, showing important scientific research and application value in the oil-gas field, and is expected to provide a new technology and index for the characterization and evaluation of oil-gas resources. The laser-induced voltage (LIV) technique studies the physical properties of materials by means of photovoltage, photocurrent and photoconductivity of materials irradiated by laser source, which is expected to be an effective supplement to the existing research methods of unconventional oil-gas reservoirs. In this paper, we present a brief review of recent studies aimed at the application of LIV measurement in unconventional reservoirs, including the anisotropic characterization of shales, organic yield evaluation and pyrolysis processed of oil shales.
