Digital core modeling technology for determining the reservoir-capacitive properties of terrigenous reservoirs

Abstract

For today digital core modelling technology is demanded and developing instrument in conducting the main reservoir-capacitive properties of terrigenous rocks. This technology is becoming more widespread in connection with the development of computer and nanotechnologies. The main attempts to apply the digital core model in practice have been undertaken in the last decade, although the first examples of its use for the analysis of reservoir rocks date back to the 80s of the last century. Improvement of digital core modeling technology will allow to cope with the problem of lack or absence of core material, as well as to solve the problems of studying loose, weakly cemented and other rocks, "problematic" of conducting physical experiments. In addition, it seems relevant to create a digital core block that fits into the general digitalization platform of technologies related to reservoir-capacitive properties in the development of hydrocarbon fields. With the use of a digital core model, it also becomes possible to effectively refine and supplement the calculated parameters in laboratory core studies, reducing the likelihood of errors in the obtained results.
