摘要
This paper describes the development of “digital-rocks” technology, in which high-resolution 3D image data are used in conjunction with advanced modeling and simulation methods to measure petrophysical rock properties. This technology has developed into a proven capability sanctioned for use in the operating assets of a large multinational oil company. Digital-rocks technology can improve evaluation of reservoir quality and quantification of hydrocarbons in place, and it can help inform the development of improved-recovery methods. © 2015 Society of Petroleum Engineers.
