Description
Digital rock physics has become an essential tool for predicting petrophysical properties in complex reservoir rocks where laboratory measurements are difficult, expensive, or scale-limited. Carbonates, tight sandstones, and other heterogeneous formations pose a particular challenge due to pore systems spanning multiple length scales that cannot be fully resolved by a single imaging modality. This paper synthesizes and integrates three complementary studies into a unified framework for multiscale digital rock analysis using DigitalROCK technology. The combined workflow couples micro-CT–resolved pore-scale simulations with effective porous-media representations of under-resolved regions, enabling robust prediction of absolute permeability, capillary pressure, and relative permeability. By integrating pore typing, constitutive relationship upscaling, and multiscale lattice Boltzmann simulations, the unified approach by DigitalROCK achieves accuracy comparable to fully resolved models at a fraction of the computational cost.
