Abstract: A method for pore network construction by one or more processors is disclosed. The method may include generating one or more sample pore bodies based on a representative pore network corresponding to a porous media sample, selecting a target pore body from the one or more sample pore bodies, adding the target pore body to a generated pore network, the generated pore network associated with one or more target parameters, replicating one or more pore throat connections from the representative pore network substantially within the generated pore network, the one or more pore throat connections disposed between the target pore body and one or more duplicated neighbors of the target pore body, and processing the generated pore network to substantially align the generated pore network with the representative pore network.

Abstract: A method and system for pore network characterization by one or more processing units is disclosed. The method may include obtaining an input image of a porous media sample, extracting a representative pore network from the input image by storing a voxel image for one or more pore elements, based on the one or more pore elements, defining a threshold capillary pressure for each of a set of inlet elements of the one or more pore elements; invading the one or more pore elements with a fluid flow configuration, the fluid flow configuration based, as least in part, on the threshold capillary pressure.

Abstract: A method and system for generating a heterogeneous plug for a porous media sample by one or more central processing units (CPUs), including duplicating one or more sample pore elements to fill one or more components of a heterogeneous plug, constructing a set of buffer zones between each of the one or more components, populating the set of buffer zones with one or more generated pore elements, the one or more generated pore elements based, at least in part, on the one or more sample pore elements, and connecting the one or more generated pore elements to the one or more components to generate the heterogeneous plug.
