Doddington Sandstone Micro-CT Rock Scan at 6.4µm Resolution

A 6.4µm voxel resolution micro-CT scan of Doddington Sandstone provides a three-dimensional pore-scale image for studying fluid flow in porous media. This dataset is part of a Qatar Carbonates and Carbon Storage Research Centre study analyzing the effects of voxel resolution on predicting petrophysical properties like porosity and permeability. The data was published by the British Geological Survey and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Pore-scale flow simulation based on the 3D pore space reconstruction mentioned in the description
• Analysis of image resolution dependency on transport properties based on the study's stated fundamental issue
• Predicting petrophysical properties like porosity and permeability based on the dataset's stated purpose
• Upscaling flow physics from pore to core scale based on the study's stated objective

Strengths

• High-resolution micro-CT scan with a specified voxel resolution of 6.4µm
• Dataset is part of a published study (Shah et al., 2015) with a defined research methodology
• Data originates from the Qatar Carbonates and Carbon Storage Research Centre, a joint industry-academic initiative

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count and file formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
