Summary
The Digital Rock Physics (DRP) technology is based on a rigorous numerical simulation of physical experiments in a realistic pore space, at the pore-scale level. DRP complements lab measurements and, at the same time, enormously enhances the geoscientist’s capabilities because digital experiments can be conducted in real time and on small fragments of rock, such as drill cuttings. We report a feasibility study on DRP technology applied to drill cutting samples to obtain porosity, permeability, and the P- and S-wave velocity.
Introduction
Porosity and permeability are key petrophysical properties in petroleum industry and environmental applications. Currently, detailed distribution of permeability cannot be remotely obtained in-situ.
