Pore structure determines the ability of fluid storage and migration in rocks, expressed as porosity and permeability in the macroscopic aspects, and the pore throat radius in the microcosmic aspects. However, complex pore structure and strong heterogeneity make the accurate description of the tight sandstone reservoir of the Triassic Yanchang Formation, Ordos Basin, China still a problem. In this paper, mercury injection capillary pressure (MICP) parameters were applied to characterize the heterogeneity of pore structure, and three types of pore structure were divided, from high to low quality and defined as Type I, Type II and Type III, separately. Then, the multifractal analysis based on the MICP data was conducted to investigate the heterogeneity of the tight sandstone reservoir. The relationships among physical properties, MICP parameters and a series of multifractal parameters have been detailed analyzed. The results showed that four multifractal parameters, singularity exponent parameter (αmin), generalized dimension parameter (Dmax), information dimension (D1), and correlation dimension (D2) were in good correlations with the porosity and permeability, which can well characterize the pore structure and reservoir heterogeneity of the study area, while the others didn’t respond well. Meanwhile, there also were good relationships between these multifractal and MICP parameters.
