Predicting Laboratory Scale Permeability on Berea Sandstone Thin Section using 3D Porous Media Reconstruction and Upscaling Method

Present paper describes a new approach to predict laboratory scale permeability using information of thin section image. The workflow was applied on Berea sandstone thin section which has similar length as the measured core plug. In this workflow, instead of using a part of thin section, full thin s...
