Influence of base material particle features on petrophysical properties of synthetic carbonate plugs.

Rocks with representative physical and chemical properties are essential to understanding fluid-solid flow behaviors at the pore scale. In this way, studying the pore space characteristics is a key point for evaluating and providing petrophysical properties for distinct rock types, such as synthetic rocks, with controlled and representative properties like natural ones. This work studies the petrophysical properties of synthetic carbonate plugs with a novel approach by correlating particle size, particle size fraction, and the morphology of particles with porosity and permeability, which could guide the scientific community to further forming of carbonate rocks with a controlled pore network.
