The systems and method described in this specification relate to at least partially restoring carbonate core samples. The systems and methods include extracting a carbonate core sample from a subterranean formation. The extracted carbonate core sample is inserted into a core flooding test machine. A first brine permeability of the extracted carbonate core sample is measured. A fluid is pumped through the extracted carbonate core sample to flood the carbonate core sample. The fluid includes at least one of a high-molecular weight polymer solution and a gel particle solution. The systems and methods include at least partially restoring the porosity and the brine permeability of the flooded carbonate core sample by pumping an oxidizing solution through the carbonate core sample and heating the carbonate core sample to a temperature of at least 60° C. after pumping the oxidizing solution through the carbonate core sample.

Technical equilibrium can be used to measure a single gas isotherm in a relatively fast and continuous manner rather than, for example, in a batch manner. Further, an expansion vessel can be used for successive desorption a multicomponent gas in combination with determining the composition of the multicomponent gas in combination with a calculation that provides both qualitative and quantitative information about the multicomponent gas. Moreover, a multicomponent gas can be flowed through an adsorbent bed and the and the flow of the multicomponent gas flow is shut off and isolated when equilibrium is reached.

A standard sample for measuring rock porosity by helium method is disclosed, which includes a cylinder body open above and a cover body matching the cylinder body. The center of the cover body is provided with a vent hole. The cylinder body is filled and tamped with filled sand body so that theoretical porosity in the cylinder body is 5%-10%. The filled sand body includes mixed sand body and quartz cotton. The mixed sand body includes coarse-grained high-purity quartz sand, medium-grained high-purity quartz sand and fine-grained silicon micropowder. By mixing, filling and tamping high-purity quartz sand with different particle sizes, silicon micropowder and quartz cotton, the porosity and permeability of the standard sample are reduced, so that the standard sample is closer to the physical properties of the actual shale geological samples to verify the method or calibrate the instrument for measuring rock porosity with helium method.

Provided is a coreflood system that comprises a housing including an inlet end and an outlet end, an inlet positioned at the inlet end, and an outlet positioned at the outlet end. The system includes two chambers positioned within the housing between the inlet and the outlet, configured to retain porous media. The two chambers are in series along a fluid flow pathway through the coreflood system. The system includes a partition extending from an inner surface of the housing between the inlet and the outlet, and a pH sensor provide in a sensor mounting location in the housing having access to the fluid flow pathway. Further provided is a method that comprises directing a fluid into a coreflood system, and using a data processing device coupled to the pH sensor to collect hydrogen ion data and determine hydrogen ion concentration and pH within the fluid.

Holographic Video Microscopy analysis of non-spherical particles is disclosed herein. Properties of the particles are determined by application of light scattering theory to holography data. Effective sphere theory is applied to provide information regarding the reflective index of a sphere that includes a target particle. Known particles may be co-dispersed with unknown particles in a medium and the holographic video microscopy is used to determine properties, such as porosity, of the unknown particles.

The present invention relates to a multi-capillary force curve averaging method based on the overall virtual measurement of a plurality of samples. The method includes the following steps: 1, taking m types of rock samples, obtaining a capillary force-saturation curve, an apparent volume and a porosity of each sample; 2, inspecting the quality of the capillary force-saturation curve of each sample and preprocessing the end points of each curve; 3, calculating an averaged wet phase saturation corresponding to different capillary force values of the plurality of samples under the overall virtual measurement of a plurality of samples; and 4, denoting data points on a graph by using the wet phase saturation as the abscissa and capillary force as the ordinate, and finally connecting all data points smoothly to obtain the averaged capillary force curve. This method of the present invention is reliable in principle and easy to operate, can be directly operated on the capillary force curves, is also suitable for various types of samples with different physical properties in consideration of the influence of the numbers of reservoirs represented by samples, has a wide range of applications, and accurate and convenient calculation results, and is more consistent with actual working conditions.
