Automatic fracture–vug identification and extraction from electric imaging logging data based on path morphology

Abstract We present a path morphology method to separate total rock pore space into matrix, fractures and vugs and derive their pore structure spectrum. Thus, we can achieve fine pore evaluation in fracture–vug reservoirs based on electric imaging logging data. We automatically identify and extract...
