The Computed Tomography (CT) scanning of carbonate reservoirs is a non-destructive method used to obtain valuable information from reservoir rocks. This concise book covers all aspects of CT image analysis and their interpretation. It is focused on the CT scanned images and the data gathered from various carbonate reservoirs with different ages, from Paleozoic to Tertiary, and with different textures, degrees of heterogeneity, facies types, diagenetic impacts, fossil contents, sedimentary structures, reservoir quality, and fracturing. Numerous high-resolution images illustrate various aspects of carbonate rock properties and are suitable for analysis by both professionals and students.
FEATURES
