DIGITAL CORE MODEL CONSTRUCTION

A method and system for analysis of a digital core image obtained from a sample are disclosed. The method includes performing segmentations on the digital core image using multiple approaches to obtain multiple segmented images which are statistically analyzed to select the most suitable approach of the multiple approaches. Thereafter, a digital core model is generated using the segmented image corresponding to the most suitable approach. A simulation test may be performed on the digital core model to obtain a model test result and an oilfield operation may be performed based on the model test result. The system includes measurement and testing equipment to obtain the digital core image and a computing system including a data repository for storing a digital core image and a digital core model, and a digital core modeling tool. The digital core modeling tool performs the segmentations, statistical analysis, and generates the digital core model.
