Abstract:
Methods and systems for conditioning expanded porosity, including a method that includes creating a disconnected pore structure by reducing the pore sizes of a rock sample's scanned image, identifying expanded pores within the rock sample and generating an expanded pore image from the expanded pores. The method further includes combining the expanded pore image with the scanned image to create an expansion mask, generating a grain conditioning volume based on at least one unexpanded region of the rock sample, combining the grain conditioning volume with the expansion mask to generate a fill volume image, combining the fill volume image with the scanned image to create an unexpanded volume image, and generating and presenting to a user a formation log using a model generated based upon the unexpanded volume image.
