Discussion on key technologies in micro-CT experiments and their applications in oil and gas exploration by Xiangsheng HUANG, Chengfei LUO, Qun ZHANG, Jinding CHEN, Yaoyuan ZHANG, Xiaowen LIU

“…While constructing pore network models, the RVE size should be no smaller than 600×600×600 voxels to ensure model representativeness. (3) Use interval-based statistics to calculate the cumulative volume frequency of pore diameters (Φ), and plot the pore size distribution curves. Use the volumetric method to calculate the average pore diameter. These methods can provide a more accurate characterization of rock pore structure. …”
