Digital rock physics (DRP) is a newly developed method based on imaging and digitizing of 3D pore and mineral structure of actual rock and numerically computing rock physical properties, such as permeability, elastic moduli, and formation factor. Modern high-resolution microcomputed tomography scanners are used for imaging, but these devices are not widely available, and 3D imaging is also cost...

S U M M A R Y Digital rock physics combines modern microscopic imaging with advanced numerical simulations to analyse the physical properties of rocks. Elastic-wave propagation modelling based on the microstructure images is used to estimate the effective elastic properties of the rock. The goal of this paper is to describe and understand how laboratory experiments compare with digital rock phy...

Rock physics modeling aims to provide a link between rock properties, such as porosity, lithology, and fluid saturation, and elastic attributes, such as velocities or impedances. These models are then used in quantitative seismic interpretation and reservoir characterization. However, most of the geophysical measurements are uncertain; therefore, rock physics equations must be combined with mat...

Quantifying interactions and dependencies among geometric, hydraulic mechanical properties of reservoir sandstones is particular importance for the exploration utilisation geological subsurface can be assessed by synthetic comprising microstructural complexity natural rocks.

Petro physics, rock physics and multi-attribute analysis have been employed in an integrated approach to delineate porosity variation across Tamag Field of Niger Delta Basin. Gamma and resistivity logs were employed to identify sand bodies and correlated across the field. Petro physical analysis was undertaken. Rock physics modelling and multi-attribute analysis were carried out. Two hydrocarbo...
