Pore systems

Rocks can be classified on the basis of their pore geometry into four major pore categories that can be divided into ten subcategories. Extensive experience and laboratory analysis show that these pore type categories have a particular behavior when interacting with fluids that can be used to predict the behavior of reservoir systems over time. This section shows how to classify pore types and explains how pores and fluids interact.
