Systems and methods are disclosed relating to reservoir characterization. A computed tomography (CT) imaging device is used to generate a CT image of a rock sample from a reservoir and segmented into CT slices. The CT slices are processed to identify textures of the rock sample to provide texture data. The rock sample is scanned using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to provide NMR data. The NMR data is segmented to provide NMR segments. The NMR segments and texture data are analyzed to determine a contribution of each texture in each CT slice to one or more relaxation times in a corresponding NMR segment for each CT slice. A petrophysical property is predicted for each texture of each CT slice based on a contribution of each texture and the corresponding NMR segment for each CT slice. A petrophysical model for the reservoir is generated based on the predicted petrophysical property.
