- Addressing long-standing limitations of spatially-stochastic digital-rock approaches, this work creates and demonstrates assembly of composite pore-network models of heterogeneous rocks with spatially distinct pore systems. The work was invited to the International Petroleum Technology Conference (Beijing, March2019, http://www.iptcnet.org/19iptc/home/) as a ’Top Paper’. This key enabling technology was used in matching fluid-flux measurements in fractured rocks, obtained with Neutron-tomography, with fluid movement flow simulations (Institut Laue-Langevin and Laboratoire 3SR, Grenoble). [Contact: Laboratoire 3SR] The capabilities form a central element in a planned project, ALITAA, to be funded by Petrobras, on rock/pore network characterisation for type rocks (B$600k, 2021-24) [Contact: Petrobras].
