    Shales are fine-grained rocks formed by clays and silt-sized particles in thin, relatively impermeable layers. They are originated from rocks that suffered weathering and erosion and their composition is quite variable. When oil production declines, interest arises to improve the understanding of the physicochemical properties of unconventional rocks, like shale. For the characterization of the shale samples of the Iraty Formation, the gamma-ray computed industrial tomography technique has been proposed to be used as an alternative to obtaining information about each element present in the mineral, the pore distribution, through the shale morphology. The tomographic results were compared with those obtained by conventional methodologies used in the petrological analysis, such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), x-ray fluorescence, and x-ray diffraction.
