Use of Pore Casts and Scanning Electron Microscope to Study Pore Geometry
TLDR
Pore casts provide information on the distribution and shape of pores and interconnecting passageways that influence permeability and control the flow of fluids as mentioned in this paper, and are useful for the study of pore geometry can be prepared from rocks impregnated with plastic.Abstract:
Various types of pore casts, replicas of void space, useful for the study of pore geometry can be prepared from rocks impregnated with plastic. Conventional light microscopes are suitable for examination of most pore casts, however the scanning electron microscope is definitely superior and is essential for good photographic illustrations. Study of pore casts provides information on the distribution and shape of pores and interconnecting passageways that influence permeability and control the flow of fluids.read more

Three-dimensional methods for quantification of cancellous bone architecture
TL;DR: The different techniques for 3-D imaging, which include serial sectioning, X-ray tomographic methods, and NMR scanning, are reviewed, and it is argued that connectivity and architectural anisotropy (fabric) are of special interest in mechanics-architecture relations.

Geological Applications of Capillary Pressure: A Review
TL;DR: Capillary pressure concepts can be used to evaluate reservoir rock quality, expected reservoir fluid saturations and depths of fluid contacts, thickness of transition zone, seal capacity, and pay versus nonpay, and to approximate recovery efficiency as discussed by the authors.

Petrography and reservoir physics I: Objective classification of reservoir porosity
TL;DR: Porosity observed in thin section can be objectively classified using a combination of digital acquisition procedures and pattern recognition algorithms as mentioned in this paper, where pore types are derived from the frequency distributions of sizes and shapes of patches of porosity exposed in thin sections.

Scanning electron microscope and acoustic emission studies of crack development in rocks
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assessed methods for revealing cracks in unstressed rock and cracks developed during uniaxial and triaxial compression up to failure, using three different rocks: microgranodiorite, dolerite and marble.

Method to generate numerical pseudocores using borehole images, digital rock samples, and multi-point statistics
TL;DR: In this article, a numerical pseudocore model was proposed to generate digital core data from a reservoir having depth-defined intervals of the reservoir, and processing the logging data into interpretable borehole image data having unknown borehole images.
