论文摘要
本文概述了当前数字岩石技术的状态，重点是工业应用。我们展示了如何将成像和图像分析应用于终点饱和的岩石键入和建模。提出了从孔隙尺度图像获得孔隙空间的数字模型的不同方法，并讨论了不同方法的优势。我们还通过成为所有这些受试者的结果的共同点来展示如何通过成为地质，岩石物理学和储层模拟的不同主题来桥接地质，岩石物理学和储层模拟的不同主题。将网络建模与网格模型上的直接模拟进行了比较，并讨论了它们各自的优势。最后，我们介绍了应用于砂岩油储层的数字岩石技术的示例。将数字岩石建模的结果与传统实验室实验的结果进行了比较。我们通过进行传统实验和数字岩石建模来强调相互利益。
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. Different methods to obtain a digital model of the pore space from pore scale images are presented, and the strengths and weaknesses of the different methods are discussed. We also show how imaging bridges the different subjects of geology, petrophysics and reservoir simulations, by being a common denominator for results in all these subjects. Network modeling is compared to direct simulations on grid models, and their respective strengths are discussed. Finally we present an example of digital rock technology applied to a sandstone oil reservoir. Results from digital rock modeling are compared to results from traditional laboratory experiments. We highlight the mutual benefits from conducting both traditional experiments and digital rock modeling.
