New Method of Oil Reservoir Rock Heterogeneity Quantitative Estimation from X-ray MCT Data

This paper considers a new method for “pore scale” oil reservoir rock quantitative estimation. The is based on core sample X-ray tomography data analysis and can be directly used to both classify rocks by heterogeneity assess representativeness of the material collection. proposed criteria consider pore size arrangement in void thus related drainage effectiveness. classification at scale also when choosing engineering may help us find formations that are similar scale. We analyzed set different lithologies using only tomographic images clearly distributes samples over structure their space.
