The puzzling influence of Ophiomorpha (trace fossil) on reservoir porosity: X-ray microtomography analysis
Bioturbation can influence petrophysical properties (e.g., porosity, permeability) of sedimentary rocks and, in consequence, reservoir quality.The impact can be positive, negative, or neutral, requiring detailed ichnological analysis.Ophiomorpha, a branched cylindrical burrow with diagnostic peloidal wall, may be present in bioturbated reservoirs t
