Abstract

We present an experimental method whereby 'Pink Beam' synchrotron radiation is used in X-ray microtomography to investigate pore structure changes during supercritical CO2 injection in very heterogeneous carbonates at high temperatures and pressures.The raw images were binarized and the magnitude of dissolution was identified on a voxel-by-voxel basis. This information was used to extract pore-by-pore dissolution data.
