Thermal conductivity and porosity maps for different materials: A combined case study of granite and sandstone
Abstract
Thanks to thermal conductivity maps, obtained from Optical Scanning method, and porosity maps, inferred from thermal conductivity maps, we have studied petrophysical heterogeneities commonly present in a granitic and sandstone geothermal reservoir (fault zone and permeable layers, respectively). The maps allowed determination of thermal conductivity and porosity variation to millimeter resolution , at a core scale. They permitted precise quantification and determination of the size of petrophysical heterogeneities (thermal conductivity and porosity) induced by rock variability.
