Enhanced carbon dioxide drainage observed in digital rock under intermediate wetting conditions.

Carbon dioxide (CO ) trapping in capillary networks of reservoir rocks is a pathway to long-term geological storage. At pore scale, CO drainage displacement depends on injection pressure, temperature, and the rock's interaction with the surrounding fluids. Modeling this interaction requires adequate representations of both capillary volume and surface.

Full scale, microscopically resolved tomographies of sandstone and carbonate rocks augmented by experimental porosity and permeability values.

We report a dataset containing full-scale, 3D images of rock plugs augmented by petrophysical lab characterization data for application in digital rock and capillary network analysis. Specifically, we have acquired microscopically resolved tomography datasets of 18 cylindrical sandstone and carbonate rock samples having lengths of 25.4 mm and diameters of 9.
