Abstract

Reservoir rock permeability and porosity are physical properties of rocks that control reservoir quality. Conventionally, rock porosity and permeability values are obtained from measurements in the laboratory or through well logs. At present, calculation of porosity and permeability can be calculated using digital image processing / Digital Rock Physics (DRP). Core data samples are processed by X-ray diffraction using CT-micro-tomography scan. The result is an image model of the core sample, 2D and 3D images. The combination of theoretical processing and digital images can be obtained from the value of porosity and permeability of rock samples. In this study, we calculated porosity and permeability values using the Digital Rock Physics (DRP) approach in sandstone samples from the Ngrayong Formation, North East Java Basin. The results of the digital image simulation and processing on the Ngrayong Formation sandstone samples ranged in value from 33.50% and permeability around 1267.02 mDarcy.
