A method for estimating properties of porous media, such as fine pore or tight rocks, is provided. The method comprises digital image scanning of sequential sub-samples of porous media at progressively higher resolution to systematically identify sub-sections of interest within the original sample and then estimate properties of the porous media. The resulting properties of the porous media then can be optionally upscaled to further estimate the properties of larger volumes of the porous media such as rock facies or subterranean reservoirs. A system operable for conducting the method also is provided.

The present invention relates to a method for displaying two-dimensional geological image data in log format and the displayed image products thereof. The present invention can provide a concatenated display format for two-dimensional image data captured for different planar slices of a geological sample. The present method provides an enhanced format modality for presentation of such image data of a geological sample as a continuous presentation for the slices in the sequence.

The present invention relates in part to a method for generating a multi-dimensional image of a sample which combines different image capturing modalities with data analysis capability for identifying and integrating the higher accuracy image features captured by each respective modality to yield reconciled image data of higher accuracy and consistency. A system which can be used to perform the method also is included.
