CT Scanning of Carbonate Reservoirs: A Color Atlas

The Computed Tomography (CT) scanning of carbonate reservoirs is a non-destructive method used to obtain valuable information from reservoir rocks. This concise atlas covers all aspects of CT image analysis and their interpretations. 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. Despite its advantages, few studies have been published about CT scanning, making this atlas an indispensable resource. Features Provides the first specialized atlas about core CT scanned image description and explanation Contains supplementary data from various sources, such as image logs, core, and thin section photos and petrophysical measurements Includes original CT images from different reservoirs Covers both research and industrial aspects of core CT scanning and it is useful for comparing CT scanned images Uses original images and reservoir data gathered by the author This atlas can be used by professionals working in the oil and gas industry, researchers and academics studying petroleum related disciplines, and students taking courses in petroleum geology and reservoir engineering. It can also be used in a range of related sciences, such as sedimentology, soil sciences, paleontology, petrology, engineering geology, study of porous materials, and hydrogeology.
