Abstract
Correct determination of void volume is essential for carrying out adsorption isotherm experiments accurately. This paper presents the void volume data of two as-received shales, namely Salanpur and KG shales, India. Void volume experiments are conducted using helium and argon at 40 °C and up to a pressure of ∼9.2 MPa. Difference in void volumes measured using helium and argon are lying in the range of 0.4–1.2 % and 0.2–1.6 % for KG and Salanpur shale respectively. The standard deviation percentage of argon is twice of helium, suggesting void volume estimation using helium to be more accurate than argon.
