Abstract

Low permeability materials have pores too tight to be characterized using conventional methods. So, the creation of a 3D pore-scale models of a porous media is often an essential step in quanti- tatively characterizing those materials and predicting their transport properties. In this work, we study a stack of 180 parallel FIB-SEM slices (1095x1096 pixels) of a synthetic clay of nanometric porosity. We propose a method to reconstruct a coherent 3D configuration of its porous structure from 2D sections with different sampling spaces. This method is based on a multiple-point statistic algorithm (MPS). It uses a stochastic sequential simulation of 2D slices to allow a computationally efficient reconstruction (CPU time) of a medium of high dimensions (1095x1096x180). The results of several simulations are analyzed to evaluate the ability of the method to capture the porous connectivity of the material.
