Abstract
• A dilation-based algorithm adds sub-resolution porosity, quantified by differential imaging, as microlinks to an extracted pore network. • Empirical models are used to characterize the flow properties of microlinks. • The tuned multiscale network, using permeability, formation factor, and drainage capillary pressure, matches experimental relative permeability.26 May 2024Submitted to ESS Open Archive 28 May 2024Published in ESS Open Archive
