Abstract
In Europe, fresh groundwater and oil resources are hosted in chalk, which is a sedimentary rock, dominated by calcite (CaCO3) precipitated by marine organisms. The calcite particles have remained small during millions of years of compaction and weathering, creating a complex microstructure with low permeability in spite of often high porosity. Knowledge about pore architecture is required to simulate fluid flow, which can be used to predict how contaminants would behave in groundwater aquifers, or how easily oil could be extracted.
