Abstract

This approach to study the morphology (shapes and connectivity) of sedimentary-rock pore space is based on fundamental concepts of mathematical morphology. An efficient and stable algorithm is proposed that distinguishes between the pore bodies and pore throats and establishes their respective volumes and connectivity.
