  • IMAGING A POROUS ROCK SAMPLE USING A NANOPARTICLE SUSPENSION
    Publication number: 20170115200
    Abstract: Some aspects of what is described here relate to analyzing a porous rock sample. A suspension of nanoparticles is injected into a rock sample. The rock sample includes pore space defined within a rock medium. An image of the nanoparticles in the pore space is obtained, for example, by three-dimensional x-ray tomography or another non-destructive imaging technique. The pore space of the rock sample is analyzed based on the image. For example, the porosity and permeability of the rock sample can be computed in some cases.
