An X-ray micro CT scan is the most accurate and direct but costly method to obtain a 3-D digital core. In this study, we propose a hybrid method which combines sedimentation simulation and simulated annealing （SA） method to generate 3-D digital cores based on 2-D images of rocks. The method starts with the sedimentation simulation to build a 3-D digital core, which is the initial configuration for the SA method. We update the initial digital core using the SA method to match the auto-correlation function of the 2-D rock image and eventually build the final 3-D digital core. Compared with the typical SA method, the hybrid method has significantly reduced the computation time. Local porosity theory is applied to quantitatively compare the reconstructed 3-D digital cores with the X-ray micro CT 3-D images. The results indicate that the 3-D digital cores reconstructed by the hybrid method have homogeneity and geometric connectivity similar to those of the X-ray micro CT image. The formation factors and permeabilities of the reconstructed 3-D digital cores are estimated using the finite element method （FEM） and lattice Boltzmann method （LBM）, respectively. The simulated results are in good agreement with the experimental measurements. Comparison of the simulation results suggests that the digital cores reconstructed by the hybrid method more closely reflect the true transport properties than the typical SA method alone.展开更多

文摘岩石电子计算机断层扫描(Computed Tomography,CT)图像可使岩石内部结构可视化,故可以作为评估油气储藏量的依据。但是,受采集条件的约束,岩石CT图像往往分辨率低、细节较模糊。因此,本文基于生成对抗网络(Generative Adversarial Network,GAN)方法引入岩石孔隙度损失,在原有损失函数约束的基础上增加新的约束项,并进行4倍超分辨重构实验,通过峰值信噪比(Peak Signal to Noise Ratio,PSNR)和结构相似性(Structural Similarity Index,SSIM)的指标比较重建结果。结果表明,本文方法在指标和视觉上均取得了良好效果。
