What is it about?
Seven different carbonate rock types layered vertically have successfully contact angle wettability as well as relative permeability curves been intensively and statistically measured using electron bombardments from 2-D high quality imaging frames. Using mineral grain/ pore boundary surfaces and A.I. morphology techniques.

Why is it important?
our data finding was an attempt to determine few contact petrophysical complex issues such as conventional laboratory relative-permeability as well as wettability experiments, which are expensive and time consuming. This project will introduce a novel (Static) method to measure wettability and relative-permeability through robust, fast, less expensive, and environmentally friendly techniques of 2D imaging technology. Static Method in sense of no fluids will be introduced into rock samples, but measuring natural attributes features of solid minerals and reservoir fluids available in fresh rocks. Also, through pores and grain morphology, porosity and permeability are accurately evaluated and assisted with data science are reported in detail.
Perspectives
Producing new application in finding relative permeability curves through the digital knowledge of wettability contact angle determination is scholarly rewarding. My team and co-authors are planning this study for a while, and we have achieved satisfying results in an outstanding time. We are proud to be this efficient. This type of data digitalization will embark an evolution era in data science.
