Carbonate rocks constitute a large number of petroleum reservoirs worldwide. Notwithstanding, the characterization of these rocks is still a challenge due to their high complexity and pore space variability, indicating the importance of further studies to reduce uncertainty in reservoir interpretation and characterization. This work was performed for coquina samples from Morro do Chaves Formation (Sergipe-Alagoas Basin), analogous to important Brazilian reservoirs. Computed tomography (CT) was used for three-dimensional characterization of rock structure. The neural network named Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) was used for CT images segmentation. According to our tests, CT demonstrated to be a consistent tool for quantitative and qualitative analysis of heterogeneous pore space, by the evaluation of porosity, connectivity and the representative elementary volume.

AbstractX-ray computed tomography augmented by elemental microanalysis has been used to characterize two drill cores from the Borrowdale Volcanic Group, west Cumbria, UK. Information about the three-dimensional (3D) distribution of mineral phases was obtained non-destructively, and regions of interest were extracted for thin sectioning and elemental analysis. This revealed the presence of pyrite and other iron- and iron-titanium-bearing minerals. X-ray computed tomography is a very useful tool for 3D visualization, but the limitations of the tomography system used made it difficult to distinguish between regions with similar compositions, such as the different layers within the calcite veins. Methods by which these limitations might be overcome are briefly discussed.
