The Influence of Microporous Cements on the Pore Network Geometry of Natural Sedimentary Rocks

We investigate the pore network geometry and permeability of six natural sandstones and carbonate rocks. Using 3D microtomographic images, we segment each rock sample into three phases: Solid matrix of grains, macropores containing void spaces, and a third microporous phase containing nanometer-size...
