Claim 10:
11. A method for generating a micromodel comprising:
drilling a well;
coring in the well for acquiring core plugs from zones in the well;
characterizing main features in the well;
screening the core plugs to select the ones that capture the most porosity features;
running deep lab imaging techniques on the selected core plugs for capturing details in the selected core plugs;
reconciling the details into images for designing a pattern for the micromodel, where reconciling the details into the images comprises connecting replicates by attaching appropriate pore throats of the same details together;
processing the images obtained from previous steps;
designing the pattern based on processed images; and
sending the pattern to a physical surface for fabricating the micromodel.
