Tight oil sandstones have complex pore structure due to multiple pore types and multiscale pore size ranging from several nanometers to dozens of microns. In this study, petrophyiscal properties of tight oil sandstones were quantified based on microscale X-ray computed tomography (μXCT) imaging tech...
