An extensive update to a classic text Stochastic geometry and spatial statistics play a
fundamental role in many modern branches of physics, materials sciences, engineering …

Fractures, vugs, and pores constitute the main pore space in carbonate reservoirs. The
associated pore structure—which is of key importance in terms of hydrocarbon production …

This article provides an overview of the current state of digital rock technology, with
emphasis on industrial applications. We show how imaging and image analysis can be …

Developing a better understanding of single‐/multiphase flow through reservoir rocks largely
relies on characterizing and modeling the pore system. For simple homogeneous rock …

Pore systems become very complex in heterogeneous reservoirs such as low-permeability
and tight sandstones for macropores and micropores both exist in such reservoirs. Although …

Abstract Characterization of shale reservoirs, which are typically of low permeability, is very
difficult because of the presence of multiscale structures. While three-dimensional (3D) …

Saturation overshoot and hysteresis for two phase flow in porous media are briefly reviewed.
Old and new challenges are discussed. It is widely accepted that the traditional Richards …

Pore networks can be extracted from 3D rock images to accurately predict multi-phase flow
properties of rocks by network flow simulation. However, the predicted flow properties may …

A stochastic geometrical modeling technique is used to reconstruct a laboratory scale
Fontainebleau sandstone with a sidelength of 1.5 cm. The model reconstruction is based on …

Multi-phase multi-component flow processes are fundamental to engineering applications in
hydrocarbon and geothermal reservoirs but also to many classical geological processes …
