Abstract: | The construction of a network model is one of the key techniques in organic combination of microscopic flow experiment and simulation. The construction method of a three-dimensional network model is presented on the basis of CT scanning images in this paper. A series of CT slice images describing microscopic pore structure and fluid distribution of actual rock is obtained with the help of the industrial microfocus CT system. Based on the extraction of pore space skeleton, pore and throat information, the corresponding network model is established, and the conversion from three-dimensional CT image information to pore-throat size distribution and topological information is also achieved. The feature of this method lies in the fact that complicated pore space of rock may be characterized by pores and throats with a simple shape while keeping the geometry and flow characteristics. It is indicated that the calculated results of porosity, permeability, relative permeability curve and microscopic remaining oil distribution match very well the experimental results of water flooding and polymer flooding. This network model may fairly well characterize the rock microscopic pore-throat size and topological characteristics.
