Guangyuan Sun, SIMULIA Infrastructure, Energy & Materials Industry Process Expert Specialist presented DigitalROCK: Fluid Rock Interactions at the SIMULIA Energy Day in Houston, Texas.

Abstract: DigitalROCK uses digital imaging and simulation to measure important rock properties accurately and efficiently. Multi-phase relative permeability and capillary pressure results are available in days instead of waiting months for physical lab testing. Faster access to more data reduces uncertainties, improves reservoir modeling, and informs key field planning and engineering decisions.

Powered by SIMULIA’s best-in-class Lattice-Boltzmann physics, DigitalROCK provides the first reliable, predictive technology for digital pore-scale simulation of relative permeability. The ability to accurately simulate two-phase flow, such as oil and water, through reservoir rock was co-developed and extensively validated with industrial cases.
