摘要: A general explanation of the instrumentation and theory CAT (computer axial tomography) scanning is provided. Specific examples applications to several reservoir core material systems are presented. It concluded that technology invaluable in providing information about internal structure saturation distributions within materials. versatile can be utilized address problems area analysis petrophysics as well fluid displacement processes material. scans provide qualitative (visual) assessment damage or presence drilling muds other fluids. With proper use attenuation standards dopant materials quantitative such bulk density, porosity, saturations calculated from CAT-scan image data. >
