Estimating the permeability of reservoir sandstones using image analysis of pore structure

In this thesis, a method is developed for predicting the permeabilities of a core using only a small number of SEM images, without resorting to computationally intensive procedures. The pore structure is idealised as consisting of a cubic network of pore tubes having an arbitrary distribution of cro...
