A Stochastic Upscaling Analysis for Carbonate Media

Abstract

Carbonate rocks have welldeveloped macropore and micropore systems, it is necessary to study the dual pore characteristics in carbonate rocks. In this paper, based on the original macropore network and micropore network, a stochastic upscaling method is used to build the dual pore network with the integration of macropores and micropores properties in carbonates together and upscale the dual pore network to a larger scale. This method is verified by geometrytopology and flow parameters comparison, which provides an important tool to microscopic flow research in carbonate media.
