The interconnectivity of the porous space is an important characteristic in the study of porous media and their transport properties. Hence we propose a way to quantify it and relate it with the intrinsic permeability of rocks. We propose a…
Permeability is the key parameter for quantifying fluid flow in porous rocks. Knowledge of the spatial distribution of the connected pore space allows, in principle, to predict the permeability of a rock sample. However, limitations in…
Predicting the geometrical evolution of the pore space in geological formations due to fluid-solid interactions has applications in reservoir engineering, oil recovery, and geological storage of carbon dioxide. However, modeling frameworks…
Automated image processing algorithms can improve the quality, efficiency, and consistency of classifying the morphology of heterogeneous carbonate rock and can deal with a massive amount of data and images seamlessly. Geoscientists face…
Each grid block in a 3D geological model requires a rock type that represents all physical and chemical properties of that block. The properties that classify rock types are lithology, permeability, and capillary pressure. Scientists and…
The objective of this work is to study the applicability of various Machine Learning algorithms for prediction of some rock properties which geoscientists usually define due to special lab analysis. We demonstrate that these special…
We present a research study aimed at testing of applicability of machine learning techniques for prediction of permeability of digitized rock samples. We prepare a training set containing 3D images of sandstone samples imaged with X-ray…
In this work we present measurements of permeability, effective porosity and tortuosity on a variety of rock samples using NMR/MRI of thermal and laser-polarized gas. Permeability and effective porosity are measured simultaneously using MRI…
The permeability of a pore structure is typically described by stochastic representations of its geometrical attributes. Database-driven numerical solvers for large model domains can only accurately predict large-scale flow behaviour when…
This article provides an overview of the current state of digital rock technology, with emphasis on industrial applications. We show how imaging and image analysis can be applied for rock typing and modeling of end-point saturations.…
The characterization of pore-throat structures in tight sandstones is crucial for understanding fluid flow in hydrocarbon reservoirs and groundwater systems. Both thin-section and Mercury Intrusion Capillary Pressure (MICP) offer insights…
A quantitative comparison between the experimental microstructure of a sedimentary rock and three theoretical models for the same rock is presented. The microstructure of the rock sample (Fontainebleau sandstone) was obtained by…
A new and fast Matlab algorithm for predicting absolute permeability is presented. The developed tool relies on measuring the connectivity of pores in a given three-dimensional (3D) micro-CT rock image. An index of pore connectivity is…
It is well known that sedimentary rocks having same porosity can have very different pore size distribution. The pore distribution determines many characteristics of the rock among which, its transport property is often the most useful.…
Accurately capturing the complex interaction between CO2 and water in porous media at the pore scale is essential for various geoscience applications, including carbon capture and storage (CCS). We introduce a comprehensive dataset…
Numerical micropermeametry is performed on three dimensional porous samples having a linear size of approximately 3 mm and a resolution of 7.5 $\mu$m. One of the samples is a microtomographic image of Fontainebleau sandstone. Two of the…
An approximate method to calculate dielectric response and relaxation functions for water saturated sedimentary rocks is tested for realistic threedimensional pore space images. The test is performed by comparing the prediction from the…
Carbon dioxide (CO2) trapping in capillary networks of reservoir rocks is a pathway to long-term geological storage. At pore scale, the CO2 trapping potential depends on injection pressure, temperature, and the rock's interaction with the…
A quantitative comparison of the pore space geometry for three natural sandstones is presented. The comparison is based on local porosity theory which provides a geometric characterization of stochastic microstructures. The characterization…
Carbonate reservoirs offer significant capacity for subsurface carbon storage, oil production, and underground hydrogen storage. X-ray computed tomography (X-ray CT) coupled with numerical simulations is commonly used to investigate the…
