Trends in CT‐Scanning of Reservoir Rocks
Medical CT to Micro CT
Converted medical x‐ray CT‐scanners have been used since 1984 for obtaining important rock and rock‐fluid properties in a non‐destructive manner for core characterization and fluid flow visualization. Although medical CT‐scanners have seen constant improvement in speed, the spatial resolution has not improved from the 350‐450 µm range. Typical pore sizes of reservoir rocks vary from less than a micron to a few microns and therefore, the oil industry has been looking for alternatives such as micro and nano CT scanners. Micro CT‐scanners have been used successfully to extract information from cuttings‐sized rock fragments and micro CT‐based research can potentially eliminate the need for cutting cores. This chapter presents a state‐of‐the‐art review of micro CT‐based petrophysical research and describes some the techniques used for building realistic pore network models and obtaining various petrophysical properties. computerised tomography; reservoirs; rocks
