Synthetic microcomputertomography of a laboratory scale sandstone core with authigenic clay — •Bibudhananda Biswal1 and Rudolf Hilfer1,21ICP, Universität Stuttgart, Pfaffenwaldring 27, 70569 Stuttgart, Germany — 2Institut für Physik, Universität Mainz, 55099 Mainz, Germany

A continuum geometrical modeling technique for reconstructing three dimensional pore scale microstructure of multiscale porous media [1] is extended to generate the first laboratory scale computer model of a sandstone with chlorite cementation, quartz overgrowth and kaolinite pore fillings. The core plug, 2.5 cm in diameter and 2.5 cm long, contains roughly 1011 crystallites with sizes varying from roughly 1 mm down to 100 nm. The continuum representation of the pore scale geometry allows discretization at arbitrary resolutions and makes available, for the first time, truly multiscale synthetic µ-CT images for flow simulation. The method can be used to reconstruct pore scale microstructure of a large variety of clay textured sandstone morphologies.
