ABSTRACT:
Parameters of a pore-scale geometric model of a clastic earth formation are adjusted so that the output of the model matches measurements made one a core sample. Additional properties of the earth formation are predicted using the pore-scale model. The additional properties may be based on additional measurements of properties of a fluid in the formation.
