The pore geometry of natural sandstone (digital rock) was obtained using high-resolution CT device (left), and CO2-water-oil behavior within the heterogeneous pores were calculated using three-phase lattice-Boltzmann model (right). The greater detail provided by the digital rock model simulation can help to identify the relevant processes of CO2 movement in oil reservoir and the rock's potential for CO2 storage in natural rock.
