Core-level high resolution petrophysical characterization method

An apparatus for characterizing a subsurface formation, the apparatus comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• receive image data of the subsurface formation penetrated by a borehole, the image data obtained using a downhole sensor tool disposed in the borehole;
• receive a plurality of non-image data logs, each non-image data log being obtained by a different type of sensor tool disposed in the borehole;
• perform an electrofacies analysis on the plurality of non-image data logs, the electrofacies analysis comprising defining clusters wherein each cluster has a similar property to provide a plurality of electrofacies blocks, each electrofacies block representing a depth interval;
• partition the image data into multiple high-resolution depth segments that share a similar property, feature, and/or pattern for each electrofacies block;
• assign data from the plurality of non-image data logs into a corresponding high-resolution depth segment to provide a high-resolution data log;
• generate a digital rock model of the subsurface formation using the high-resolution data log;
• perform a flow simulation using the digital rock model to provide flow simulation output;
• and
• determine a formation property from the flow simulation output;
• borehole-related equipment configured to perform a borehole-related operation based on the formation property.
