Abstract

Simulation of carbonate reservoir pore space structure is provided by X-ray tomography method. Core samples of 30 – 100 cm diameter have been studied. Defined are optimum characteristics of X-radiation for core samples of different diameters and lithology and a number of available geologic tasks which can be solved by the abovementioned method. Based on researches of the core samples by the method of the X-ray tomography, suggested is procedure of capacitive space revealing in different reservoir types providing estimation of their volumes.
