Topological characteristics of digital models of geological core

EasyChair Preprint 320, version 2

Abstract

We discuss the possibility of applying stochastic approaches to core modeling by using tools of topology. The study demonstrates the prospects of applying topological characteristics for the description of the core and the search for its analogs. Moreover, application of topological characteristics (for example, in conjunction with machine learning methods) in the long term will make it possible to obtain petrophysical properties of the core samples without carrying out expensive and long-term filtration experiments.
