Transport in sandstone: A study based on three dimensional microtomography

Abstract

High resolution imaging of the microstructure of Fontainebleau sandstone allows a direct comparison between theoretical calculations and laboratory measurements. While porosity, pore‐volume‐to‐surface ratio, permeability, and end point relative permeability are well predicted by our calculations, we find that electrical resistivity and wetting phase residual saturation are both overestimated.
