Claim 0:
1. A process of constructing a micromodel for a multiple porosity system comprising:
drilling a well;
coring the well to acquire core plugs from the well;
producing thin section images of the core plugs for acquiring a first feature of the core plugs;
transforming the thin section images to binary images;
characterizing flow features using one or more fracture characterization techniques for acquiring a second feature of the core plugs;
reconciling the first and second features into the binary images for designing a pattern for the micromodel;
fabricating the micromodel based on the pattern using a computer device,
where reconciling the first and second features into the binary images further comprises connecting replicates by attaching appropriate pore throats of the same features together.
