Dataset theme Geoscientific Information
Dataset abstract The data presented herein comprises raw and segmented X-Ray micro-CT data, CMG simulation files and Matlab processing files for the paper 'Representative elementary volumes, hysteresis and heterogeneity in multiphase flow from the pore to continuum scale'. The data is organised as Core 1 and Core 2 respectively.

Full core scans are obtained at a resolution of 6 microns. Region of interest (ROI) scans are obtained at 3.45 micron and 2 micron (core 1) and 3.5 micron (core 2). Resolution information is contained within the file names. Voxel sizes in the images may vary and can be changed to match the naming values.

Experimental post-processing files contain the upscaled saturations and porosity values in 3D, which are used in the paper. It also contains the pore-filling analysis.

The CMG simulation files contain the input .dat file, 3D digital core information (porosity, capillary pressure) needed to simulate both the drainage and imbibition core floods, with corresponding Matlab analysis files.

The cores are Bentheimer outcrop cores obtained from Shell, Amsterdam. Bentheimer is a shallow marine rock, deposited during the Lower Cretaceous. It outcrops between Enschede and Schoonenbeek in the Netherlands.
