摘要
It is demonstrated that a certain amount of order can be extracted from an apparently random distribution of pores in sedimentary rocks by exploiting the scaling characteristics of the geometry of the porespace with the help of fractal statistics. A simple fractal model of a sedimentary rock is built, and is tested against both the Archie law for conductivity and the Carman-Kozeny equation for permeability. We demonstrate how multifractal scaling of pore-volume can be used as a tool for rock characterization by computing its experimental f(alpha) spectrum, which can be modelled by a simple two-scale Cantor set.
