Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for testing rock core fluid saturation, in particular to a CT method for accurately measuring fluid saturation. Background technique
[0002] As a routine testing technique in core analysis, CT technology is widely used in core description, core heterogeneity determination, core sample selection, fracture quantitative analysis, online saturation measurement, flow experiment research, etc. The use of CT to measure fluid saturation in rocks has become one of the most common and effective experimental methods for CT technology in the petroleum industry.
[0003] The basic principle of CT scanning of rocks is: the X-ray beam generated by the X-ray tube in the CT machine is irradiated from multiple directions along a selected fault layer of the object. By measuring the amount of transmitted X-rays, it is calculated after digitization. These absorption coefficients can form different digital matrices; through the digital-to...
